DK2 is finicky about a lot of things, but especially mutlicore systems.
However, you can reliably knock DK2 down to use only core to fix most of the problems. This includes a sluggish main screen, movie flickering, and the like. It will not fix every problem, but it's definitely worth a try to improve this undercooked GoG release.
First, grab IMAGECFG. It's a Microsoft utility found all over the place. I picked it up from here: http://www.robpol86.com/index.php/ImageCFG
This site because it has the file itself as well as an awesome explanation on how to use it. You should probably be able to figure this out yourself, but here's the steps I took:
1. Unzip the imagecfg archive to C:\WiNDOWS\SYSTEM32 (or equivilent)
2. Run a admin cmd prompt
3. CD over to the game directory of dk2
4. Run the following commands
imagecfg -u dkii.exe
imagecfg -a 0x1 dkii.exe
exit and you should be good to go.
Edit: I am using a 2 core AMD processor and laptop AMD Vision chipset, Win7 x64, so I am probably the worst possible scenario.
