DirectDraw wrappers generally utilize newer versions of DirectX than the old games they're made for, and I believe all of the Diablo wrappers use this particular file. Without it, the new ddraw.dll file can't work. Furthermore, in some cases old programs such as Diablo can be denied access to the system32 folder entirely, preventing them from using the required file even if its there where it should be. If you don't have D3DX9_43.dll in there, you probably need it, and if you do, you might attempt to copy it into the Diablo folder and try the ddraw wrapper again to see if it works that way.

i DO have the D3DX9_43.dll. i copied it into the diablo directory with no avail. I have all the D3DX9 files from 24 - 43 if that matters. is there a way i can grant diablo explecit permission to the system32 folder?

although, now when i run it it just crashes with no error message. :/
