Diablo Backwards Compatibility Guide
#44
Hello,

I am having a problem getting it to run. I bought Windows 7 Professional so I could use the XP Mode, installed the game, but I get an error everytime I try to load it:

"Hellfire (or Diablo) was unable to properly initialize your video card using DirectX. Blah, blah blah....

The error encountered while trying to initialize the video card was:
Not implemented
at: dx.cpp line 183"

I installed the 1.09 patch, then installed Hellfire, then installed the Hellfire patch. I then went and installed DirectX 9, then the video card drivers for Windows XP 32 bit. I tried the method in the first post of this thread. Nothing works. Very frustrating, as I have never had any issues playing Diablo on XP machines before. I had an XP machine specifically for playing old games, but it died which is why I had to get Win 7 Pro. Waste of money so far...
