I would just search around on Google for a bit to find the cause of the problem. Its almost certainly separate from the game.

--------------------

1) google DOSbox and get it, install it
2)copy the KKND cd to a folder called C:\games\kknd
3)open dosbox and put in the following

mount C C:\
mount D D:\ -t cdrom (this is your physical cdrom drive remap as appropriet)

4) change dir to D:
5)type install to start the installer press Y as soon as it asks for the driver thingy

5) everytime running kknd or the installer bump the fps upto 145000 this will make game play and install much smoother do this by pressing ctrl+F12 you will see a difference in the title bar with _ | | x

6) install maxium to C:\games\kknd4 (after install is finished it will ask you if you want to view readme) exit to find the screen goes funny this is normal just close the window or type exit and hit enter

7) run dosbox again and map the same drives as before

8) ensure your kknd disk is in the drive and again bump up the fps to atleast 145000, change dir to D:\kknd\

9)type kknd and enjoy.
