Hi, today I've heard that Origin was giving DK1 for free so I take, than I started it, close is it after a while and when I tried to restart it, it won't restart, It keeps loading the game for ever. I had a similar problem with Nox and I didn't find a way to fix it, did you guys know how?

No clue, but my first step would be to try keeperfx (see the sticky on these forums).
My second step, if it is for some reason incompatible, would be the EA/origin forums.

So I haven't tried any of this but I should have explained before that I hadn't a problem with game but with the launcher, now I don't have that issue anymore, now Origin crashes when I quit XD

KeeperFX wont' fix problems with Origin crashing, but it runs without Origin, so you won't have to worry about Origin working in order to play Dungeon Keeper.

Just needs some file from the installation to run. I forget exactly what, but I recall its quite simple, and well explained in either the sticky, or the link in the sticky.

If you have other Origin games and still want to play them, then I'd definitely seek out help from EA and their forums.

Ok, thanks for the help, one last question, can take my previous saves and use them with KeeperFX?

No idea. I did some cursory searching on the keeperFX forums, and in the thread on this site... and didn't see anything definite. So for that someone else will have to chime in, or you'll have to look around some more yourself.

No, you cannot.

As a workaround, you could run KeeperFX from the command line and add '-level #' at the end of the command to jump straight to level '#'. Save the game, and exit. Now start the game normally and load the game from the save you just made.

Try disabling the Origin overlay.
Also for NOX there's a file you should google called NoxSolution.exe
