okay guys.. Here's a problem I'd love to see if you could help me with. Before I even give you the story, here's my computer specs:
Abit BE6-II
P3/850 (600 oc'ed to 850)
128MB Mushkin Rev.2 High Perf.
Elsa Gladiac 920 GeForce 3
Sound Blaster Live! Value
Kenwood 72X TRUEX CD-ROM
Linksys 10/100 NIC
okay.. So yesterday I go out and buy the Diablo II Expansion Set. I bring it home, open it up, goto install it... And I get errors while the thing tries to auto-run the install.exe... So I try the cd in my sisters computer.. Loads up perfectly fine. So I think back to when Diablo II first came out.. People with the Kenwood TRUEX series of cdrom had a huge problem with diablo2 not installing properly or running properly (I have a kenwood TRUEX).. so i thought it was an issue with my cd-rom drive.. but I already had installed the latest firmware revision which was made specifically because of the diablo2 issues with my type of cdrom.. So I look on the battle.net pages looking for an answer. I try all of their suggestions to fix my problem to no avail.. (This was all on windows ME BTW).. So I figure well, I have the RC1 of windows XP, so lets format clean and give it a go... So I format, and install windows XP RC1 today.. The OS is great, I'm loving it, and everything has installed great and all my games run. HOWEVER.. Guess which hasn't installed? Yep, the Diablo2 Expansion Set.... Now instead of getting an error when trying to run the install file.. I get an hourglass for 2 seconds.. then it goes to the cursor, I see the hard drive light on.. after 6 seconds.. It stops and the weird thing is the cd-rom drive DISSAPEARS from my computer and device manager!! totally weird!! Only way to bring it back is by restarting.. I'd really like to find out why this is happening.. I like this OS and would like to continue using it, but I'd also like to play this expansion set.. Any ideas would be great.. Thanks
