unhandled exception error

[Taem]

I'm getting an unhandled exception error every time I try to run DII. It used to work.

I confess I was just trying to log in to refresh my characters, not to actually play, but I shall be disappointed if I lose them as they represent a few years of my life.

There are lots of possibilities. Try the following:

0. Update your video card driver (or in some cases, try reverting it).

1. Create a shortcut to dii.exe or whatever it's called and put it on your desktop. Set compatibility mode to XP v3 and give admin privileges. Reboot your computer and try the shortcut. If that does not work, try putting -w at the end of your target, i.e. "c:/program files/diablo/diablo.exe" -w ... and see if it works.

2. There are known issues with similar errors and sound. Users have reported great success by placing -ns at the end of their target.

3. If none of this works, try a complete uninstall/reinstall. You may want to backup your save folder, but it usually does not get deleted.

4. If after all this it still does not work, then something is wrong with your registry, and in this case, search for diablo and delete all registry settings related to it, then reinstall... but please, make sure you know what you are doing. I don't want to get blamed if you brick your computer.

Best of luck!
