Following DL's thread found here, I found a few broken links there. May want to update it.
Installation:
I have downloaded Dungeon Keeper II from Digiex, which is already patched to 1.7, comes with bonuses, and has the disc security ripped out.

I have patched to 1.73 using dotted's attachment found in this thread. (Scroll down until attachment)
Running Dungeon Keeper II works, but leads to crashing later during gameplay.
Running DK II Under Windows:
I have Windows 7 installed on this computer. I was to try and do the UnSafeDisc a second time if it was required, but the link was broken.
Skipped this step.
I then tried using the better graphics, but when doing that it made the menu more laggy. (Note that I went into the registry before this step, that may affect it. This fix comes from another thread [Graphic Glitches])
Dungeon Keeper II Problems:
-Drivers are up to date (new laptop)
-The download says the disc security has already been ripped out, and the Unsafedisc link is broken.
-Black Pixels / Blocks: I have not encountered this problem.
-Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit I have not used yet.
-I tried running the game in Compatibility mode for XP Service Pack 3 and Windows 98. They both seem to crash.
-I believe I had a Quad Core laptop. I opened up the Task Manager and tried to Set Affinity, but it wouldn't allow me. (Access is denied and a similar error message)
Perhaps I may be blind here, but anyone know what I am doing wrong? (Besides converting to 1.3 or 1.51, I want my elites, maps, and editor)
