Im trying to get an old game up and running on XP and Im not having any luck.

Anyone ever play Dungeon Keeper?

When I double click the .exe, the game loads, I can pick new game, and when I click the town to build the dungeon under it crashes back to windows.

[bang] [bang] [bang]

Google has not helped.

I have tried changing the compatibility to win95 and it didn't help.

>:(

i liked dungeon keeper a lot.
i finished the first one, but on the sequel, the graphics were better...and i spent most of my time in the torture room smacking the dark mistresses. ;D

I tried a long time ago to use dosbox but one of my favorite games suddenly went into light speed fast play and never played right.
