I have a windows 10 and downloaded Dungeon keeper 2 from Origin and have been troubleshooting a couple issues. Its running as Administrator on compatibility mode for Windows XP service pack 2. Did the fix of the direct play and finally got it loading up. But now its not allowing me to click on anything on the main menu once the intro video concludes, and I ran out of ideas of what to do. Anyone has an answer for this one?

@Capitan_Capota Try running it in Compatability mode for Win 95, Win 98, or Win 2000.

Tried that with and without dpi scaling behavior, ran it with different resolutions and with and without full screen optimizations. it loads up and shows the cursor but does not move forward that point. Also tried the repair option and uninstalled and re installed it.

@Capitan_CapotaI have seen the following steps suggested by people in the past.
Step 1:
Go to "Start" at the bottom left corner of your screen
Step 2:
Then search for "Run"
Step 3:
Once there you will have to type in ''regedit'' ( This will open your computers registery editor )
Step 4:
Click on HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Step 5:
Click on Software
Step 6:
Click on Bullfrog Productions Ltd
Step 7:
Click on Dungeon Keeper II
Step 8:
Click on Configuration
Step 9:
Click on Video
Step 10:
Right click on EngineID > Modify > and set the value data to 4
Step 11:
Right click on ScreenHardware3D > Modify > and set the value to 0 (This will deactivate the hardware acceleration on the game)
I have also seen people suggest the following steps.
1. Search your computer for Regedit
2. Click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
3. Click SOFTWARE
4. Click Microsoft
5. Click Windows NT
6. Click CurrentVersion
7. Click AppCompatFlags
8. Click Layers
On this window you might see other games you have downloaded on here such as dungeon keeper 1 or 2
From here right click a blank area underneath the other games in the registry and click NEW and add a new STRING
Type the exact location of your keeperFX folder and launcher.exe (remember to add .exe at the end of launcher or it wont work.)
Here is an example if your keeperfx folder is on your desktop.
If you copy and paste this make sure your keeperfx folder is named keeper fx exactly.
C:\Users\myname\Desktop\keeper fx\launcher.exe
After that is done, right click your entry and click MODIFY
Then on the VALUE DATA box type this
