DIABLO II can't get d2loader110 to work

Hello!

I am a total newbie at this so please, bear with me.

I have Diablo 2 and the d2loader110.zip and instructions. I also have a disk with the cinematics on it.

I've followed the instructions (which appear deceptively simple) and installed the game (single player, because I'm not interested in playing multi player on the net). I've patched/upgraded it to version 110. I've extracted the diablo2.exe from the d2loader110.zip to the game folder. It makes a folder within the diablo 2 game folder, called d2loader which contains the diablo2.exe.

From there I get stuck. I've tried double clicking the diablo2.exe in the main game folder....nothing happens. I've tried d.clicking the diablo2 exe in the d2loader folder....nothing happens. I've tried copying the diablo2.exe from the d2loader folder, to the diablo 2 main game folder...again nothing.

I variously get error messages saying to insert disk into rom (its already in there)or that storm.dll is missing (when d.clicking on the d2loader folder diablo2.exe).

Getting so annoyed with this. Can't work out why it just won't work. A friend sent this from overseas and the disk only has the single player on it anyway, not the full multiplayer version.

Is there something I'm missing here? Can anyone help please? Been waiting to play this one for ages. Only have Diablo2, not the expansion (yet).

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards
Chickie

You are supposed to copy Diablo II.exe to your Diablo II folder, and run it directly from that directory instead of running it from a newly created sub-directory. I am pretty sure that's what it said on the readme.

By the way, post it on general chat under D2 instead of using the help forum for game specific question.

Sorry, I'll repost on general board.

Erm nonononono! I moved it =D. Where did you dl the loader from btw?

I didn't create the sub folder. When I extract diablo2.exe into the game folder, it makes it's own subfolder and places the exe in there. I've tried copying and pasting it from the sub folder to the main folder (which replaces the existing diablo2.exe) and running it from there, again with no results. Don't even get the splash screen.

Any further help appreciated.

The loader was sent to me but, since reading here in the forum, I also d/loaded the d2loader110.zip that was offered here. I uninstalled the game completely (using Your Uninstaller) then started fresh using the loader from here.
