When for whatever reason you want to play the original dungeon keeper and you did not download the free version that GOG.com gave away nor want to use KeeperFX take a look at this troubleshooter:
https://gamefixes.wordpress.com/category/developer/bullfrog/dungeon-keeper-1-deeper-dungeons/

I had to reinstall my windows, and DK did not work for me without running the "dungeon keeper 95 Windows 7 64-bit compatibility fix".
Without it, after the splash screen I get a black 640x480 square in the top left of my screen before it crashes to desktop. You can download it on that site, but I've also attached it here: 1589

It also has a fix for the strange colors.

If you want to reduce the speed of the game see this post here ('https://keeperklan.com/threads/1666-How-to-get-the-official-editor-to-work-with-KeeperFX?p=47660&viewfull=1#post47660').
EDIT: Link is dead. Attached the file: 2116

I found out that using DxWnd allows you to easily run Dungeon Keeper and the official editor on a modern machine: https://sourceforge.net/projects/dxwnd/

There's a help document included with the download. It stops the editor from speeding up too.
