Hi Guys! New and already have a problem!

Hi guys, My names Luke and I would be most grateful if someone could assist me with my problem!

Basically, I just got my new system and am now running Vista Home Premium. I just installed Dungeon Keeper 2 and applied the 1.7 patch that came on the disc with it, then did the compatibility options stuff under the properties tab. The game loads up no problems but during game play all I can see is a bunch of tiny black squares all over the screen

Tried fiddling with the graphics settings in game but nothing seems to work, any ideas anyone!?

Cheers all

Luke

Yeah thats the guide I followed! Still having problems though, any ideas?

I've heard turning off hardware acceleration might do the trick.

Yeah that cracked it! Cheers dude

Ok, new problem! Game is working fine but keeps crashing out to desktop after about 15-20 minutes, any ideas on this one?!

I don't know if this works with Vista, someone said it works with XP. Try adding this to your shortcut "-32biteverything" without quotations.
