I'm doing the grave robber' s quest. I have found everybody but after I talk to Arthur Gregory in the imp' s lair it starts loading something and never loads it. What do I do?

End the conversation manually, before it gets to the end of his dialogue. There is a short cutscene triggered after the conversation with him, which a few people have had a problem with. Ending the dialogue early should avoid that.

How do I do that? Just press any button when talking to him?

On PC you can hit 1 repeatedly to skip through the dialogue, or A(?) for the Xbox version.

In Keara's flying fortress, the entrance to the headquarters is almost at the very top, a little below the platform with the wizard tower on it. Fly around the fortress and look for a small, square section of fortified walls, with a teleporter portal in the middle (second highest platform).

Here is a map showing the rough location of the shield generators. They are towers and a nest, though, so easier to deal with than finding the generators in human form in other fortresses.

From the D2:ED walkthrough:
Keara's Flying Fortress [FLKEF]
-----------------------
Location: south of Champion Harbour

-You must destroy six things to disable the anti-dragon zone.
-Three of them are three lightning towers (west, southwest, and southeast).
-Two are wizard towers (northwest and east).

-The last is a nest tower to the northeas). Be careful when attacking it: it's
actually inside the anti-dragon zone.

Raze, ( I'm in human form) I can't find the generators. I have been to the area's close to them. ( according to the map, you linked me to) I'm finding chests and killing everybody that I can find and putting a flag where I've been. Do I destroy them or turn them off?

In Keara's fortress the generators are towers and a nest, that need to be destroyed in dragon form.

There are a bunch of generators on the northern platforms that need to be destroyed in human form to lower the shield around the southern ones. Here is a map, and description from the walkthrough linked above:

Quote
Kali's Flying Fortress [FLKAF]
----------------------
Location: inside Rivertown Gorge

-The anti-dragon zone on the southern islands can be disabled by destroying
the 17 generators on the northern islands.

-There are five generators on the very highest ring of outer islands (one on
each island except the northern one).

-Six generators sit on the large outer islands (one on each).

-The middle island has three generators near its center.

-The last three generators are hidden on small islands that lurk beneath the
larger outer islands (one to the north, one to the southwest, and one to the
southeast).

I remember spending a seriously large amount of time both flying and wandering about that area trying to find all the generators! Weirdly it wasn't such a big issue on my first couple of play-throughs, but it was on my last.

Which gave me enough time to notice that the landscape topography is the same as used in the Fjords. Which obviously it isn't intended to be, I assume it's intended to be somewhere between the Fjords' dog-leg and Aleroth, but I was surprised at how different the same map could be made to look.

Rivertown Gorge is Kali's fortress. Technically the fortress is inside the gorge, but it is the only thing there that you can reach, so they are the same thing.

All the generators need to be destroyed in human form. Double check all the platforms in the northern section to find the one(s) that you missed. When in human form, check the mini-map for red dots that would indicate opponents nearby, possibly above or below the current platform, so maybe a section you missed which could have a generator.

Raze , I checked and killed all the people in the no Dragon zone platform. I see no more red dots. I've checked all the platforms again. Still no red dots. The shield is still up. The only thing I have found is a glowing staff thing by boxes on the platform just upwards( too left on map) of the storage platform.I've also killed all the dragons around the no Dragon platform. I can't figure out how to get to the very top of the no Dragon platform without dying.help
Wait there is a small platform real low how do I get to it? I can't fly to it or jump.I've tried.

I'm not sure what you mean by glowing staff thing; if it is a lever, pull it. On the southern platform, see if there is any place you can just fly above and transform.
I can't check in D2:ED, and DKS / D2:DC removed all but one of the anti-dragon shields in the flying fortresses.

That's a manoeuvre I've done a few times: I forget whether or not it was required in this area, but transforming in mid-air and dropping down has definitely been handy occasionally.

I must admit to having slightly mixed feelings about the revamped fortresses: disabling the shields could be tedious and frustrating was its own kind of fun, but the seemingly larger number of mobs that we got in their place, not so much.

How do you help Needleman? And get into the tower? There is a place near him that has a lightning tower and another thing you can destroy on it but there is a shield around it,how do you disable the shield? ( to destroy them ). I can't find the rest of the zeppelin parts for master page either.( for on the road again quest). Please help.

His storage area is in a cave high up a mountain somewhere to the south of the tower, I think: can't remember the exact location but it's not that far away from where you find Needleman. I recall climbing up to it prior to the fortresses arriving at which point the entrance is blocked by rubble but it should be clear from this point on.

As far as I know, the tower doors no longer open at this point in the game, though I could be wrong; and hopefully Raze can remember about the shield...

Needleman's storage is low and directly south east of the tower. From the air you should be able to see the blue glow around the door and a portal on the same ledge.

You can not get back into Lovis' tower after taking over the battle tower.

Here is a map showing the generators and from the walkthrough:
Quote
Broken Valley [FLBVF]
-------------
Location: Broken Valley

-To disable the anti-dragon zone around the mine, you'll need to find a
generator just west of the mine and flip a nearby lever in human form.

-Another lever can be found just southeast of Lord Lovis' tower.

-The next zone to disable requires you to land in the area only accessible
after flipping the prior lever (west of Lord Lovis' tower, just north of the
still active zone). Find and use a teleporter after you land, then locate and
flip the lever at the top of the new area to disable all but one remaining
anti-dragon zone.

-Next, disable the barrier by landing on a platform on the west side of Maxos'
temple and flipping the lever there. Geshniz's Headquarters can be accessed
via the teleporter on this platform.

-The last anti-dragon zone can be disabled by flipping a lever not too far
west of the zone itself (like the others, it's found inside of a thick-walled
fort easily visible on the map).

-Doctor Needleman is sitting on top of Lovis' Tower. You can mind read him to
gain his storage password. Find his storage south of the tower, right next to
the portal to Stone's Flying Fortress. The key to the door inside is hidden
beneath a few barrels to the right of the door. Unfortunately, the loot you
find isn't really worth the mind reading cost.

-You find a potion of wisdom on Geshniz's corpse. You can drink it to gain 5
int, but if you've chosen Allan as your alchemist, doing so will prevent you
from upgrading your alchemy garden a second time.

-The key to the chest on the middle floor of the mine office is sitting on the
left side of a desk on the top floor.

Raze posted some hints here earlier on, which goes into rather more detail than my "run away from everything!" would. laugh
