IIRC I think you just run the Diablo exe and then you can choose whether you want the orginal or LOD. I don't think you need the LOD disk until you hit that content.

Another tip...you create a battlenet account and you can input the serial #'s and get any Blizzard you own (with the serials) via direct download from Blizzard...pretty nice in my opinion.

Try the following.
1- Install Diablo II
2- Run Diablo II and click on multiplayer to update your game
3- Once updated, close the game and install D2 LOD.
4- Run the D2 expansion execute file.
5- Don't work? Re-try everything while UAC (User Account Control) is turn off.

I loaded Diablo 2 and LOD on my new PC (win 7 64 bit)

Didn't play it for an extended period of time but it did load and play.

Running an i5-750 on a Asus Formula 3 Maximus with an eVGA 470 and 4 gig ram.

iv had that issue before.

its really not that hard to fix.

1.insert the disk. and then just double click the Diable.exe in your program files (run as administrator)

2.if nothing loads just leave it, the first time it loads it takes a while (maybe 20-30minutes) to load. after than its instant.
