I have three computers .... all are XP and I can install diablo on all of them and two of them will work just fine.....but....the newest machine just keeps saying "insert diablo CD" even if I just used it to install the game. It isn't able to recognize the CD to play the game......any Ideas about this.....has anybody had this problem. I would like to run the game on the new computer if possible.

Have you patched the game to the latest version? You can download and apply the patch manually from here: http://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/diablo/patches/pc/ You should go for the drtl109.exe patch. The 1.09b, which is in a zip file, is only really needed if you run Windows NT. For more info on the patches: http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml...14&pageNumber=1

I have done some thinking and some research and it looks like the only difference in the three machines that I have tried to load and play the game on .....is....the new machine is a Dual Core Intel with ATI graphics and the other machines are AMD Chips with Nvidia graphics......what do you think ? ? Has anybody out there played Diablo on a Dual Core Intel machine......:wacko:

This is scaring me. I'm upgrading to a core 2 duo soon. You are the second person I've heard who has problems with Diablo in dual core
.

As I said in the other thread where you mentioned this problem, I'm also running a dual core, with an ATI card, and I don't have this problem.

Putting Diablo on an SMP system isn't a good idea, afaik. I've seen reports that it is prone to crashes on SMP systems due to threading bugs. You can work around those by using CPU affinity.
With regard to the CD failure: it's probably not the CPU / graphics card. Does the same physical CD work in one machine and not in another? If you exchange CD-ROM drives between two systems, does the failure stay with the drive or stay on the original system?

Good news!
I'm playing just fine with my new e6700 dual 7900 gs ko's and xfx 680i lt mobo. Seem the processor might not be the factor. I use Daemon tools to run Diablo.

Hi,
Did you try to set the compatibility properties for the program manually? Right-click the program icon on your desktop or the shortcut on the Start menu for the program you want to run, and then click Properties. Click the Compatibility tab, and change the compatibility settings for your program. Quote:Getting older programs to run on Windows XPMost programs run properly on Windows XP. The exceptions are some older games and other programs that were written specifically for an earlier version of Windows. To run your program on Windows XP, try the following:
