hello all,
i recently thought about how nice it would be to play the old diablo again, took my cd and installed it, including patch 1.09. installation went over smoothly, no problems. but when i want to start the game, after the intro i get a crash to desktop, without any comment or error message. there seem to be buggy graphics, too, the flaming animated diablo logo at the beginning is quite wrong (instead of a flaming logo i get the whole 'diablo' running up and down in its frame). the .err error file created in my diablo directory talks about 'access violation', as far as i can decypher this cryptic file...
i tried out different windows compatibility modes (win 95, 98 nt), installing different patches from the blizzard hp (after de- and reinstalling diablo), installing hellfire etc. no result, except crash to desktop. searching these forums got me no help so far. as far as i can recall, a few years ago i ran the game successfully, but since then i made some hardware upgrades.
has anyone encountered such a problem, and/or is there a known solution?
my system consists of:
- asrock dual sata mainboard
- athlon 64 3200 (939 socket)
- 2048 mb ram (although right now, it's running on 1024 mb until i can figure out why win2k is hiding the other half, the bios shows it all...:()
- asus radeon 9600 xt agp (8x) graphics card (1024x768 screen resolution, 32bit colour)
- terratec aureon 5.1 sound card
- win 2k pro
anyone got any ideas?
thanks for trying to help,
