had to run the setup in compatibility mode, then patch it, then run the game in XP SP2 mode, which is funny as I could never get the game to run right in XP..

also had to check the boxes for "disable visual themes". "disable desktop compsition" and "disable display scaling pm high DPI settings"

Lol, I hate you so much right now... I could just kiss you lol...

I so can't wait for W7 OEM to come out just so I can play DK2 again! lol...

What patches did you run?

Yeh, I couldn't EVER get it to run in WXP... It'd crash after a few minutes...

flat install which on my disk puts it at 1.3, then ran the 1.3 to 1.7 update. also installed all 3 bonus packs.

my disc has 1.3 to 1.6 on it, but if you run that, you can't run the 1.3 to 1.7

I thought you were running W7 already?

so far it seems to run great, not having any of the issues with sound or crashes and such like I did on XP.

it's taking me a bit to get used to the controls and moving the map, etc.

I am only running W7 on the spare computer that my son plays on, just to test it out; waiting to put W7 on my main computer until the dell oem goes out next month.

Lol yeh the new ui anoys me; I usually always roll back to the "windows classic" skin, but can't really see doing that in W7 lol...
