I stumbled upon a small 2 liner post about this.. You can't run dual monitors because of the game being directdraw or something of that effect. I turned off compatibility mode stuck the cd in, disabled my widescreen monitor and launched the game, and it runs now.. Some jackass named "god" joined the game and somehow corrupted me and my friends saved games.. talk about no life, still trolling d1 *rolls eyes*
Compatibility settings don't work, all the do is change the message to that. With no compatibilty settings, I actually get a bit farther. I get past the blizzard logo and then the game encounters an error. I've emailed blizzard since their support section has NOTHING on this.
I patched to v1.09 btw.
I've tried using the CD, I've tried using an .iso image.. I've tried using the install directory. I changed the DiabloCD key value in the registry every time to the appropriate location.. Heck I even tried using my development HDD (D:\) thinking oh maybe it is looking where it shouldn't.
So I've got nowhere left to go before trying a virtual machine of windows 95 or something of that sort.
Again I've got Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3
Build 2600.xpsp.080413-2111(Service Pack 3) //In case anybody actually needs the build lol
Please help me!
