Problem with DK2 Black screen

[DrKillzown]

Hey guys Drkillzown here.
First off I have a Dell 15" Inspiron touch with an HD Intel Graphics card.

Firstly i found my old DG2 game today and was mega excited because I love and loved the game and couldn't wait to play it.
Put it in, installed it etc etc. Went to go play the background was fine, but when I went start new campaign or any other option, the texture went all black and i only saw the background every now and again and when in game the map was completely black and never saw anything except little bits of the HUD.

I searched online to fix this, I tried running compatability settings, tried going into the task manager and tried the set affinity, my computer comes up with CPU 0,1,2,3 and 4, i disabled all except for 0, maybe there's a problem because there's 5 instead of 0 and 1? I'm not sure anyway, ive tried running all compat. modes and nothing works.

Please help, this is a great game and I love it so much, would be a shame to not play it. Any advice would be very very helpful.

Regards, DrKillzown!

Here is what solved the black screen issue for me in Dungeon Keeper 2 (ver 1.51).
OS: Windows Xp.


1. Click on the Start Menu in the lower left corner.
2. Pick "Run..." in the menu.
3. Type: dxdiag
4. Pick the "Display" tab at the top.
5. In the "DirectX Features" area click on "Disable" right next to "DirectDraw Acceleration".

After that, Dungeon Keeper 2 worked fine for me.
