I thought that was it till I tried running again , but no go . I have no idea what caused this , atm I am busy backing up stuff to cd then I am going to reformat , if that does'nt work , I think I may just give the accounts up , WoW is around the corner and that will keep me busy for quite some time .

At what point does the screen go black?
You could *try* creating a shortcut to "diablo ii.exe" and adding "-skiptobnet" and "-ns" to the end of the path; these will skip the opening cinematics and disable sound respectively. I have vague memories of sound problems causing lockups on startup. Other than that, the only thing that might be of use is pasting the contents of the log file from your d2 directory: it'll be called D2YYMMDD.txt, where YYMMDD represents the current date.
You don't know what you're talking about.
