Greenleon: I was encountering the "yearning for your next move" issue. To solve it I tried running DKII in Windows 98/ME compatibility mode but from then my campaign progress was lost along with the Pet Dungeon progress. I did not start a new game, because I feared it would overwrite the saves.
Starting it in Win2000 compatibility mode again did not solve the problem.
I run WinXP Prof SP3.
I have had my campaign wipe.
The solution is simple. Save at the start of every mission.
Nothing more annoying than repeating the first 8 levels because the campaign auto save wipes. I have not lost any of my saved games unlike with other games (fallout 2 has wiped all its saves before).
Hope the info helps.
Have you tried:
"> Run DKII
> Once the menu is loaded hold down ctrl alt delete
> Task Manager will open and the game will minimize
> Right click Dungeon Keeper click "Go To Process" this will go directly to
the process in the processes window
> Right click the process should be something like "DKII.exe" click "Set Affinity" this will open the "Processor Affinity" window
> There should be two "CPU" processes checked, uncheck one of them I always keep CPU0 checked and uncheck CPU1
> Close Task Manager and click the Dugeon Keeper II tab on the taskbar"
