Playing DK2 under win 8 can be quite difficult depending on your configuration, it is copy protected and that can bring problems when installing , hardware acceleration doesn't work very well on win 7/win 8 (graphic glitches), running in compatibility mode resets the game options all the time, and it doesn't support multiple cores. There are various fixes for all of those, here are a few links :

- Do you know if is possible play Dungeon Keeper 2 in w7? How? - Steam Users' Forums

You can also try running it under VirtualBox (https://www.virtualbox.org/) or VMware Player (VMware Player Plus: Easiest Way to Run a Virtual Machine | United States).
The easiest though is probably to buy it from GOG : Dungeon Keeper 2 for download $5.99 - GOG.com, gog's versions include most recent fixes official and unofficial to make them run on modern OSes.
Haven trouble playing dungeon keeper 2 on window 8.1. the game installed with no problem. but when it comes to actually game play I get a black or pixelated screen. tried the trouble shooting with no luck. anyone have any suggestion.
