Howzit going ? I've been playing Diablo2 for a while now & recently bought the upgrade to LOD. But now all of a sudden when i insert the LOD disk for some reason it does'nt recognise it. I don't exactly have a top notch computer, it's a Celeron 633, graphics & sound are onboard & are both from the SiS630 series, 128mb RAM. I've never had trouble with this until now. Any solutions are more than welcome.

Are you saying AutoRun isn't working? Because if it doesn't, go to My Computer>Click your CD Drive>Select Setup.
If that doesn't work, go to Start>Run>and type in "your CD drive letter:/setup.exe" without the quotes.
If none of that works, maybe you could try and find out what type of CD-ROM reader it is, model/makerwise.

Thats the good ol' SecuROM v2 CD protection at work there, which has a tendancy to cause legally purchased games to fail in some cd-rw and older cd-rom drives. It is especially prevailent in many games using SecuROM released by Atari in the last few months, but good luck getting them to admit a problem exists. I know when some Neverwinter Nights and its expansion had problems, Bioware released a patch that fixed it, you can try looking at the forums on the Blizzard website and see if anyone else there had the same problem, and if so, how they fixed it there.

Yep, JonPhoenix is absolutely right. I've run into probs before like that, mostly with EA games I buy - they install fine, but can't run them in my CD/DVD rom or CD RW if they need the CD to be played. I can't even run on my PC some of the music cd's I buy sometimes. It's not all the time that it happens, only with some games or music - I've even run accross this problem with some DVD movies I buy. I have to find work arounds, such as finding no-cd patches for my games, or ripping my music into mp3's so I can listen to it on my PC.
Bugs me that I buy software legally and I can't play them. I have to do "questionable" things to get my money's worth.
