Diablo problem

[DeeBye]

I was under the impression, if you copy your friend's game it is illegal.

Perhaps I am wrong, here is the thread I had in mind after reading his post -

I won't get into legalities of copying games, since this varies greatly from country to country. It is against the forum rules to promote "warezed" copies of games, which your linked thread clearly does. This one doesn't, assuming of course he actually has a copy of Diablo in the first place and isn't just feeding us a line.

Copying a game that you own is completely kosher. Using Daemon's Tools to play that game without a CD is completely kosher. I used to do it all the time when playing Diablo 1, just so I could avoid nasty "CD Spin Lag Death".

For the original poster, I'm 99% sure you have a corrupt diabdat.mpq file. You'll need copy it again. Once you do, it's a good idea to copy the diablodat.mpq file to your /Diablo directory.
