Reinstalling D:II

[Wyrm]

I think this is the appropriate place. I am also reinstalling DII after a few years sabbatical. I had to go and purchase another copy. I have Winblowz XP and the install went fine, I easily have all the system requirements. When I went to start playing the game, the screen goes black and behind this a little box pops up "unhandled exception error." [right][snapback]83821[/snapback][/right]

Diablo 2 doesn't run on xp (or 2k) until v 1.06 or so (might be 1.04, not sure). Since that also means you're probably (it's been a while since my last install) unable to connect to battle.net for the auto-update, you'll have to go to the website and download the patch from there, run it, then game.

Also make sure you run the vid test program before running the game.
