[d2wontwork]

ahem, last night d2 was working perfectly, then the next day it was screwed and it wont work, and i had to reinstall it, and at the end of the install, it said "There was a error installing. Please contact blizzard tech support if the problem persisits." I wasted 50 bucks on this game, and after the message, i checked the details, it showed all the files that couldnt be installed, and they were mostly .exe's. BTW my computer - Compaq 900mghz 128 ram, and 40 gigs, cable connection.. anyone? and this also has windows xp

I have windows XP and I have a problem too. Mine installed, but when I went to play, I got a frozen black screen.

Are you guys playing in compatibility mode ? Try enabling/disabling it.

1. Make sure you visit the Windows Update Site to update the compatibility feature. It might also be a good idea to get other useful updates for your computer.
2. Make a shortcut to Diablo II.exe.
3. Go in the shorcut's properties.
4. Go under the compatibility tab.
5. Disable it. If it is disabled, try enabling it for Windows 98 instead.

D2/WinXP

I run Windows XP and had a problem when I first installed D2/LOD (installed both at the same time), then tried to play.

I had to update to the latest version of DII (1.09D or something) and everything works fine. I have a p3-800, 200mb ram, DSL connection, lots of HD space =), Radeon 7200 (64mb DDR) ...

When I first load the game I do see a ... I guess it's like a white cursor on the top left of the screen. The game DOES load though, just takes a few seconds to kick in.
