try deleting, redownload and reinstall maybe.
i've had that before, and think it was an installation problem due to unorthodox install. (installing over network due to no cd rom drive or some other craziness).
also found this, you might try this first before reinstalling:
I'm having a bit of a frustrating problem, and seeing as it is a holiday I cannot contact Blizzard's tech support directly.
I have (LEGIT) digital downloads for both D2 and LOD from Blizzard.com, so it can't possibly be a pirating issue. I had lost my CDs/Case for D2 so I bought a digital download, and I registered my LOD CD-Key on the Blizzard website to get the digital download for it free of charge.
After installing both without a hitch, I noticed a rather irritating issue that I'm hoping can be resolved.
When I attempt to run D2:LOD by using the Desktop shortcut, I get the error message "Battle.net is unable to properly identify your applicationversion".
What's VERY odd about this, is that if I attempt to run D2:LOD directly from the INSTALLER, I do not get that error at all. Does anyone know why or have any experience with this? I'd like to be able to use my desktop shortcut (primarily because I want to play in windowed mode by adding -w to the shortcut) and not have to start up the installer every single time.
Thanks for reading this! I tried not to make it a wall-o-text.
EDIT: I FIXED IT! What I did was change the program so that not only does it run in XP compatibility mode, I am also running it as Administrator. Seems to have done the trick! I hope perhaps someone else that is having this issue can solve it the same way.
OS: Vista Ultimate
Solution: Right click on LOD desktop icon and enter properties. Change the compatibility mode to XP and also check the box so run as administrator.
