I replied to the other thread, look it up. And if your having trouble with the forums, (as yo say "banned). I recommend taking this up with a moderator, asap.

You come to a forum in order to ask for help on the forum. You do not go on a forum to redirect users to install a program to help you. That's not how forums work.
Also you are not banned. Banned means that you can not post in the forums at all.

Anyway, use some proper punctuation and grammar. I can't understand half of what you are saying.

KeeperFX should run fine on Windows Vista/7.

Have you updated al your drivers? (Videocard, Soundcard, Directx etc.)

Are you running other programs that might interfere with the game? (Virusscanner, Chatprograms etc.)

And please check your spelling, it's one big mess. :x

Try to get a computer that isn't a dell, then you will have a solution to 99.9% of all problems to do with games. This isn't useless information, this is the information which should make you not get a god damn dell in future!

The irony is that Dell owns Alienware.

it is no prank and killing the explorer.exe won't reboot your computer at all.
the explorer.exe often cause problems with older games like dungeon keeper, diablo and so on, i don't know why but it fixes the freaky coloured screen - using keeperfx is the better way of getting rid of most of the problems, but that would do the trick, too

I can confirm this, Age of empires II has fucked up colours and the only way to make them revert to normal is to kill explorer.exe while the game is running.

Besides, you don't need to reboot after killing explorer.exe. Just pick New Task from task manager and input "explorer.exe" and it'll be back.

Or you can simply create a batch file that does everything for you!

like this:

@echo off
taskkill /IM explorer.exe /F
c:
cd C:\keeperfx 0.38c\
start keeperfx.exe
pause
start explorer.exe

1. create a text file and rename it to dk.bat (or whatever you like, just be sure to replace the .txt with .bat)
2. open the .bat file by pressing the right mouse button and choose edit.
3. copy the lines from above to the file, edit the path and save it

the echo off and the c: command are variable, so you're free to whether delete them or let them be - echo off only hides the command lines that are written in the batch file, so they're not printed in the console and the c: just change the drive in case you saved the file to another partition or and external harddrive

after you quit the game, the console is still there and if you press any button, the explorer.exe starts again
