I did that, and it worked, but not very well. It played the movies in a small window etc. I then installed the Win95 patch and ran it in the Win 95 compatibility layer and it worked perfectly. I'm sure I've tried that before and it didn't work. Oh well. It's been a while, D2 sure makes me appreciate the advances made in D3.
