I know you! I have met you at Dave & Busters and Blizzcon a few times. =D

Hey-hey Helper! Long time no see. I am writing a series a posts in Notepad lately for later releasing in pieces. Starting from the first MVP program as Dinobot, second MVP program as Negafox, working in technical support for a year, and then seven years as a software engineer. I think delving...

A random Negafox/Dinobot appears. It is super effective! I actually left Blizzard Entertainment in February to work for another game company. I worked at Blizzard Entertainment for nine years working as a Software Engineer in the Battle.net department in the end. One of my final projects was...

The Dark Knight was a near-perfect movie in my opinion, and by far was superior to even Spider-Man 2. The only major disappointment with the latest Batman movie is the unfortunate fact that Heath Ledger cannot portray Joker in any future Batman movies. Heath Ledger's performance was the...

Yeah, it looks like one of the spyware/Trojan variants circulating such as SpySheriff. SpyBot: Search & Destroy can partially remove the Trojan and spyware. AdAware and Microsoft Antispyware cannot detect and/or fully remove the spyware last I checked. The Trojan does not properly hijack...

I am 25. If I were a cat, I would be dead by now.

It may be Norton has others have mentioned. There are a few known spyware that can pretend to be anti-spyware such as SpySheriff. However, SpySheriff is a nasty piece of a work that makes its presence known almost immediately since it disables the Task Manager, alters the background wallpaper...

Can you provide additional information about your hardware? Try the following steps: -Click on the Start button on the taskbar. -Click on Run.... -Type dxdiag and press the Enter key. -Post information into this thread from DirectX Version towards the bottom of the window. -Click on the...

You want to use port forwarding, not triggering. Configure the ports from the Virtual Server tab instead of Applications. Also, make sure you configure each computer to use a static IP address and configure Warcraft III to use a unique port in the Gameplay options. For example, configure one...

Since Battle.net is a popular free gaming service, there are some measures implemented to maintain server stability. Players who play games in a short period of time may be temporarily restricted from the realms. If your play style includes joining and leaving games repeatedly in a short...

StarCraft was released before broadband, firewalls, and routers became commonplace in the household, so it lacks custom network settings. Try uninstalling Norton Internet Security and see if this resolves the issue.

Are you intentionally minimizing Warcraft III or is the game doing it itself? If Warcraft III is minimizing itself, this is caused by a background process. Spyware is commonly known to cause this and I would recommend scanning your computer with Microsoft Anti-Spyware, not just Ad-Aware and Spybot.

Are you using a North American version of Diablo II or foreign? If North American, you might need to reinstall Diablo II. If foreign and these are runeword items, you may need to toss the affect items onto ground.

Do not download any third-party software such as hacks and bots as they may contain Trojans. Threats that somebody will hack you are idle on Battle.net since a person cannot hack you through Battle.net unless you install a backdoor onto your system.

You are kidding us, right? Asking for a new CD-Key in the forums? What is the exact error message you are receiving? If you are receiving a disabled error message, Blizzard Entertainment will not replace the CD-Key. If the error message is that the key is invalid or for another game, you can...

E-mail response is about 2-3 business days.

In all honesty, the possibilities can be endless on the culprit. There is no "one size fits all" answer to technical support. If you can, try another set of discs. Borrow the discs from a friend if you must. If the problem still persists, then it is your system. If the problem goes away, it...

Bots are not intended to join private or clan channels on Battle.net. Blizzard intends for them to be restricted to the Open Tech Support, Blizzard Tech Support and Public Chat channels on Battle.net.

It appeared to be based upon your description of the disc contents. However, I have not physically seen the disc to make that judgement. Contact Blizzard and they can provide replacement information should the problem still persist after exchanging the disc at the store.
