"Re-install Program Using Recommended Settings" or "Program Installed Correctly"__How to undo these changes?

Question

I Am using Vista 64 and tried to install Diablo 2 and its expansion to play with friend.

During the installation, I was asked several times to allow the setup to continue, and during the installation of Diablo 2, was asked three times if I wanted to "Re-install Program Using Recommended Settings" or "Program Installed Correctly", I assume because of compatibility issues. I chose re-install twice for Diablo 2 and it continued installing as normal. Finally the third time I selected installed correctly and it finished installing.

With the expansion, when I was first asked to choose between "Re-install Program Using Recommended Settings" or "Program Installed Correctly" I chose Installed Correctly right away. However, now during the installation once it reaches a certain point the compiter no longer recognizes that the expansion disk is in the drive and the installation cannot continue.

I have tried uninstalling and re-installing in compatibility mode and in safe mode and the same thing happens.

I would really appreciate any help.

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi,

I see that Diablo 2 is not compatible with Windows Vista; you can check it by yourself, the link to have a check on that is given below.

However you can try to install the game in the compatibility mode. Refer the link below for more information on that.

  Right click on the setup file>Click on properties>Compatibility>Place a check against “Run this program compatibility mode for” and select the previous version of Windows and install the game.
