I just had the urge to play Diablo II which i played (but never finished) on my older PC (win98) so after the process of finding the CDs and removing the dust from their covers i happily put the install disc into my cd-drive and up pops up the autorun menu.
i hit install and set the directory and all that mombo-jumbo it began installing. now thats done reboot time then *drums plz* i double click on the game and the game wont load i just get a black screen. i tried changing the compatibility of the game to both win98 and win95 but of no use.

Any ideas?


PS: i just got an idea of using bootmagic and install win98 on a partition or something (no clue yet how to do that) and install diablo there, would that probably help?
oh and i tried the game on my brothers pc also winxp but same issue

sorry for the long post thanks
 
Have you tried patching the game to the latest version? That might be worth a shot.

Installing 98 and running it on that would also do the trick but it's a very long way round!
 
hmm.. i think i've played it under XP before.. not sure what would be causing the problem..
 
Never mind i got it to work. I downloaded a copy of it from a torrent site and installed it this morning and it worked :D yippy
thanks alot for the replies

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
