Here is how I got Dungeon Keeper 1 working through my Vista 64bit PC:

-Note: You need a decent PC to create a virtual machine on and an
unused windows XP CD and product key.-



*1).* I Installed the windows virtual machine software.

*2).* I created a virtual machine and installed Windows XP Home
Edition SP2 on it.

*3).* I Inserted the Dungeon Keeper disk into my computer and, (on my
virtual machine) right clicked on the D: drive -- open. I then right
clicked on KEEPER95.exe, went to properties, went to the compatibility
tab and then changed it to run in compatibility mode for windows 95.

*4).* I then installed Dungeon Keeper on my virtual PC.

*5).* To make Keeper work on XP:


- Click Start, click Run, type c:\windows\repair, and then click
OK.
- Right-click Autoexec.nt, and then click Copy.
- Click Start, click Run, type c:\windows\system32, and then click
OK.
- Right-click anywhere in that folder, and then click Paste.
- If asked to overwrite the file, answer Yes.
- Right-click the Autoexec.nt file that you just copied, and then
click Properties.
- Click to select Read-Only, and then click OK.

- -Repeat steps 1 through 7 to copy the Config.nt file.-



I hope this will assist some people in being able to play this
excellent game.
