I have a problem with DK2. When I put cd 1 in the cd-rom an try to install it I get an window titled 16-bit Windows subsystem.
 
In the window it says:
 
" C:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt. The systemfile is not compatible voor MS-dos en Microsoft Windows-applications. Choose Close to close the the application".
 
Or something like that. I translated it.
I have winXP SP2. How can I install DK2 on my pc.
 
I tried it with
-16 bit mode on desktop
-make it 98 or 95 compatible under settings
 
Please help me with this because I wan't to play it on my new machine.

Copy autoexec.nt from \Windows\Repair to \Windows\system32. Your old autoexec.nt was corrupted.

Internet rumour is that it's a virus. It's highly possible but doesn't mean that is the case. To be safe scan your system.

As Win2k does not show me this option, is there an option to set? Or isn't this way working on Win2k?

OMG I'm desperate. I'm running on XP sp2. I've installed the game. I have not patched it (and it keeps having an error about an old file when I try to). I've done everything LPH says. I've tried not putting the 32 bit command line, tried putting compatibility with 95/98, tried running on 16 bit at 800x600. It all doesn't work. Only thing I have not tried is the dual boot thing. What is it? Does anyone have any other solution?

Well, this thread is a little old now, but there are still posts in - so i hope for help.
I got DK2 work on Win2000 again, but the "usual" errors occur. Crashes after several hours of play, no fireflies and goblins in the campain, and so on.. So I wanted to follow LPH's instructions and started looking for the Windows Application Compatibility Toolkit 3.0. Unfortunatly there's a new version out, which doesnt work on 2000. I looked anywhere to find it - anyone got an idea where it could be? Or maybe someone got it? Would be very nice if you could send it to me in this case.
Well, thx for any help. I want DK2 back
