Hi everyone, i am new to the forums. I really like this site alot. It has been over a year since i played Diablo II/LOD and i was wondering...........Is diablo II compatable with windows xp? I bought a new computer ( old one was win98 ) and i installed DII. Soon after install was complete, i clicked on my icon to start the game and my comp doesn't load the game. I get a black screen. i did search the forums for a previous post on this subject, but i couldn't find anything. Thanks for any help. :hbut

edit : I did go thru the video test mode, and passed no prob. p4 2.8 -512 ram -180 gig hd -ati vid card -xp home

Try downloading some patches from the battle.net site. If that doesn't work you could try editing the icon with come launch options.

Note: Haven't played Diablo II in a couple of years, so I can't really help you on what to put in the launch options.)

I play with windows XP. I played before with Windows '98 and it was very convenient. But I have alot of ram and a 100 gig hardrive so I don't lag, especially when I have DSL/Cable.
