So I deleted all Diablo related file, rebooted PC. Downloaded fresh 1.13c version and those files from the Join section in the forum. Extracted and pasted and replaced and such. Run as window mode with -w, run as administrator, added those files to DEP, compatibility is Win7 then Winxp Sp3 and then Winxp Sp2. None of them worked. Just this error when creating new game. I'm so bad with this error troubleshooting since everyone is playing this game perfectly right now.

Thanks for your reply. I ran the video test as administrator a couple of time but nothing pop up. That's so weird! Is there any way to actually make the video test running since it doesn't shown anything when I ran as admin nor ran as double clicking on the file?

You have to disable DEP completely in your OS. To do this:
1. Run cmd as an administrator
2. type: bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff
3. reboot

Cheers.


You can turn DEP back on with...

bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOn

d2vidtest needs the same thing to run - "run as admin" and "compatibility for win xp sp2". Although if you get the game running this is probably not the cause.

The only other thing i can think of atm is 1) You have some sort of antivirus that is blocking the dll 2) Download our launcher and try to install the game with it .

I tried the Diablo II.exe in the diablo II folder, not the Game.exe on the desktop with -w anymore. It ran full screen and the same error popped out. Then a moment later this one also follow his brother's footstep:
