ShoeHornOPlenty

ShoeHornOPlenty
Well after a little tinkering around I was able to figure out how to play Diablo 2 on Windows XP Build 2465. If you have the crack for the game so that it doesnt need the CD, all you have to do is run the vidtest, and make sure you choose to play the game in Direct Draw (2D) mode.

The low down on dual proc

oXide
