Perfprm the following steps to make DK2 to work under windows xp:
  • First install the game setup.
  • Now install 1.7 update patch of dk2.
  • Run UnSafeDisc 1.55 TO remove insert key cd error.
  • Now delete the DKII.exe, not the .ICD file.
  • Rename Testme.exe to DKII.exe.
  • Play game and enjoy.
