Cannot play diablo 2 vista

Right click on the Diablo II icon. Select "Run as Administrator" If you have additional permissions questions, you should refer to your Windows help files or documentation. If that does not allow you to run the game, please make sure you set the game to Windows XP SP 2 compatibility mode. Select "Properties" 3. Click on the "Compatibility" tab 4. Please be advised if you are not comfortable disabling this we recommend you contact Microsoft for further options.

Click on "Turn User Account Control on or off" 6. Click "OK" 8. Jul1an , Mar 31, Joined: May 14, Messages: Location: Sydney.

Regarding that above link, ticking "Disable Desktop Composition" fixes it too but it will turn off your Aero whenever you play the game. Joined: Nov 21, Messages: 3, Location: Sydney.

Have you tried using the right-click and Run as Administrator? Yes I have and that did not work. Do you know of anything else that might be the problem?
