Help With D2

[Kuang155]

I GOT D2 ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO. I INSTALLED THE GAME AND
TRIED IT ON THE INTERNET BUT WHEN I JOINED OR CREATED A
GAME THE PLEASE WAIT MESSAGE APPEARED AND MY MOUSE DISAPPEARED AND MY COMP FROZE. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY TIME I TRIED ON THE INTERNET. I JUST TRIED ONE PLAYER AND THIS TIME AFTER I SELECTED A CHARECTER THE SCREEN WENT BLACK AND MY COMP FROZE. I SHUT OFF ALL POWER AND WHEN I TRIED TO TURN IT BACK ON MY MONITER ONLY TURNED ON AND TURNED RIGHT OFF. MY HARD DRIVE NEVER TURNED ON AND I JUST GOT IT WORKING BY TURNING THE POWER ON IN THE BACK. THIS IS SO RETARDED! I GOT STARCRAFT SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS BATTLENET OR MY COMP.MY COMP PROBABLY SINCE ONE PLAYER DOES NOT WORK. ITS NOT THE DISK BECAUSE I TRIED THE GAME ON MY OTHER COMP AND IT WORKED PERFECTLY BUT THAT COMP DOES NOT HAVE THE INTERNET. I HAVE THE LATEST VERSION OF D2 BUT IT JUST DOES NOT WORK. BTW I HAVE NO HACKS AND I SET MY FIREWALL TO PERMIT ALL ACCESS TO D2 ON THE INTERNET. WTF IS GOING ON????????????

IF I HAD TO MAKE AN EDUCATED GUESS I WOULD SAY THAT YOUR CAPS LOCK KEY BEING STUCK IN THE DOWN POSITION IS INTERFERING WITH YOUR COMPUTER'S PERFORMANCE.
I RECOMMEND YOU RIP THE CAPS LOCK KEY OFF YOUR KEYBOARD, THEN YOU OPEN UP YOUR CASE AND CHECK FOR LOSE WIRES AND DUST.

Hehehe, nice touch Swilo.

Seriously though, try reinstalling the game.
