    Dungeon keeper, or keeperfx? when i first open the launcher, a pop up says: 'Image file is not of type 17.' if that helps.
    the keeper95 application makes the computer think for a bit, then nothing. the keeperfx launcher comes up with the messages as above.

    Hmmm, that's weird. Well, try filling the KeeperFX.cfg file with the data below:

    Code:
    ; Path to the DK files. Usually leaving it as "./" will work.
    INSTALL_PATH=./
    ; How many of the game files are on disk; irrelevant option.
    INSTALL_TYPE=MAX
    ; Language definition; sets options for displaying texts.
    LANGUAGE=ENG
    ; Keyboard definition; irrelevant.
    KEYBOARD=101
    ; File format in which screenshots are written; BMP or HSI.
    SCREENSHOT=BMP
    ; Three frontend resolutions: failsafe, movies and menu resolution.
    FRONTEND_RES=640x480x32 640x480x32 640x480x32
    ;Original DK resolutions were FRONTEND_RES=MODEx320x200x8 MODEx320x200x8 MODEx640x480x8
    ; List of in-game resolutions. ALT+R will switch between them.
    INGAME_RES=640x480x32 1024x768x32
    ;Original DK resolutions were INGAME_RES=MODEx320x200x8 MODEx640x400x8
    ; Mouse pointer movement speed; 100 percent means normal OS speed
    POINTER_SENSITIVITY=100
    ; Censorship - originally was ON only if language is german.
    CENSORSHIP = OFF
    Then start the game.

    all right, now we're getting somewhere!
    got as far as the title screen, blacked out, then froze.
    checked the log, more than last time.

    here's the bad stuff:
    Warning: File "startup_fx.pal" doesn't exist or is too small.
    Error: init_bitmap_screen: Couldn't load palette file for KeeperFX Splash screen
    Sync: setup_game: startup_fx image skipped
    Error: play_smacker_file: Smacker play error
    Warning: File "loading_640.pal" doesn't exist or is too small.
    Error: init_bitmap_screen: Couldn't load palette file for Loading Image screen
    Error: LbDataLoadAll: Can't load file "data\palette.dat"
    Error: initial_setup: Unable to load game_load_files
    Error: In source LbBullfrogMain:
    2 - Setting up game failed.

    all the files in the fxdata folder are empty, as the is palette.dat file.

    Oh, I've read you copied the files from the CD to your hard drive. Please reinstall, but this time, using the CD. NOT from the hard drive.

    The desktop is located into your "user account" and well, it's a bad idea to put the files there. Use a simple path, like a CD path.

    Do you mean install as in use the keeperfx launcher, or actually try and install it using the setup program on the disc?
    Just tried both. Installer (using the CD path) same result as last time, same error messages.
    The disc method got as far as asking if i want the program to run on my computer, thought for a bit then nothing.

    If you want to install KeeperFX, you must run the launcher, and the launcher only. Otherwise, if you wanna play the original DK game, you must use the Setup.

    But since you tried and still got the same errors, I don't really know. Do you have the original CD? Try using a CD image file emulated under a CD emulator like Daemon Tools Lite. If it solves the problem, then good. If it's not, then that's weird. It's supposed to work properly since it worked for a lot of people. Only Mefisto would know about that since he made the launcher, but he's not very available actually. I can only leave him a message if you want.

    I have the original cd plus all the stuff that came in the box. I'm really only interested in playing the original game. I came on here because I was told that this might be a solution. I could be doing something wrong and not even know it, since I'm not too computer savvy. If you could contact him for me that'd be a big help. I'd really like this to work, its an awesome game, worth playing.

    PM sent. Again, I'd like to help you, but that's something I have no idea why it doesn't work.

    I've been told it works with windows 7 professional (due to its ability to use XP compatability), but dont really feel like paying $220 for the upgrade.
