Troubleshooting & Setup Guide
1. Fixing Security Errors:
If you encounter a security error, delete diskimage.ini and patch.ini from your Windows root drive (usually C:\).
2. Setup/Install-Loop Issues
If the game tries to run it creates a diskimage.ini, patch.ini or bios file in your Windows folder, it’s likely because of a modified dk2win32.dll. Revert to the original DLL that came with the files to prevent this.
3. Graphics & Display Issues:
Black Question Mark: If the game displays a large black question mark after rebooting, you need to reinstall your graphics drivers.
4. Registry entry(s):
The Game Creates Netready LTD. in Windows. registry. It is recommended to leave this alone.
5. Sound Card & Shell Crashes:
If the shell closes immediately, it’s a sound card compatibility issue.
The game specifically looks for Realtek HD Sound or a Speaker Plugin HD.
Standard "Realtek(R)" cards may not work. 
You can check in your bios under advanced look for sound and set it to HD. SEE  drewjbs.  Post  HERE.
6. Easy setup: Instead of manual editing, load the game in TP, then exit. This automatically populates the game.ini with the correct drive and directory info. If you do edit it manually, do not change the sub-folder paths.
