whoever can help me gets 5 bucks paypal, if you dont have paypal, then the satisfaction of a job well done and my thanks

ps: it isnt screwy with only diablo, its also screwy with warcraft III (and im assuming all games)

What happens when you double click on the installer?

Bobwest · 04-26-2009, 04:24 PM

Try this to delete the upper and lower CD filters> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060/en-us

Bobwest · 04-26-2009, 05:17 PM

(auto run again, didnt do anything unfortunately....)

Just for kicks have you tried the other drive?
Are you running in a admin account.

Bobwest · 04-26-2009, 05:28 PM

I am running an admin account, and drive D is the only drive I have (the other two are from poweriso and daemon tools lite)

Bobwest · 04-26-2009, 05:40 PM

i also have nero for burning CDs and stuff maybe that has something to do with it?

**wrench97** · 04-26-2009, 05:44 PM

Of course the PC does meet the minimum requirements for the game?
Give this a try> http://vistasupport.mvps.org/autorun...s_inserted.htm

Bobwest · 04-26-2009, 05:50 PM

ill try the

right now

Bobwest · 04-26-2009, 05:54 PM

I can't find step 8 or 9 of that guide, for step 8 and 9 i dont have Explorer

**wrench97** · 04-27-2009, 12:34 AM

Skip to step 10

copy the Cd contents to your HDD

are you sure you're using the install Disk?

Bobwest · 04-27-2009, 01:36 PM

When I skip to step 10,, there is no entry for NoDriveTypeAutorun.

I'm sure I'm using the install disc (there is only one disc for Diablo I). I tried turning off Autoplay by going to Control Panel->Play CDs or other media automatically-> Unchecking Use Autoplay for media and devices. This has done nothing, and when I double click on my CD drive it still brings up a folder wiht unclickable icons (the folders open, but they lead to even more unclickable things). This is what it looks like:

How do I copy all the files to my HDD?

**wrench97** · 04-27-2009, 01:45 PM

If you right click on the Diablo Installer file what menu choices do you get?

Bobwest · 04-27-2009, 01:54 PM

I get nothing, nothing happens when I right or left click.

**wrench97** · 04-27-2009, 01:59 PM

Mcninjaguy does Diablo have an install limit?

Tiber Septim · 04-28-2009, 12:23 AM

Nope, no install limit.
It does work with Vista too, I just tested it.

However, the files look nothing like what I have, is this a legit copy of the game?

Mcninjaguy · 04-28-2009, 02:00 PM

I don't games made before 2000 had install limits or much of any anti piracy measures on them

and I've never had a chance to play Diablo but Diablo 2 I've played for countless hours and all that game had was a CD key

**wrench97** · 04-28-2009, 02:19 PM

Any chance this is a Mac only Disk?
