Whew, this is old. I think the fixes released by GOG should take care of most problems now, but if you want to play around with DK2's config in the registry anyway, I'll try to guide you a bit. Where do i find "Engine Id" and change it's value to 4?

To open the registry editor, open up the start menu and in the little search box at the bottom, type "regedit" (without the quotes) then press enter. You might have to run it in admin mode to make changes, but since it's in the "Current user" tree, maybe not.
BE CAREFUL, if you go bonkers and start deleting or changing stuff in the registry without knowing what you're doing, you could seriously mess up your system.
Once the registry editor is open, you should have a treeview on the left with the registry nodes (or hives,keys or whatever you want to call them), and a larger area on the right with registry values. You use the left side to navigate to the registry node I listed, then find the values you want to modify in the section on the right and double-click on them to make the modifications.
Remember to be mindful of the Hexadecimal and Decimal options when dealing with values above 9. 10 in hexadecimal = 16 in decimal, and 10 in decimal = A in hexadecimal. Look it up on google if you want more info on that.
