why someone doesn't port it to iPhone or something. (Oh, right, EA owns
the license)
Easiest solution, install DOSBox (Google it).
You might need to tweak DOSBox a little, but if you read some of the
docs that come with DOSBox or the stuff online you'll see it's fairly
easy to setup.
Once setup install DK per the instructions that come with the game for
DOS Mode installation.
Game graphics should return. Since it's an emulator a slower system may
not run the game so stellarly.
If you want to fix the game in Windows, try updating your graphic card
drivers, and run DXWebSetup.EXE again (make sure all DirectX files are
installed).
Good luck, old game + new computer = good luck.
