I will save Skynet from Sarah Connor

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 head bang head bang head

Google has not helped.

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