I need some expertise. I have recently gotten myself a new motherboard and
hard drive. I installed windows 2000 as the operating system and now cannot
get D2 to even load. I get as far as install and it tells me that D2 is
meant to run on Windows 95. I have downloaded the compatibility patch but I
can't get far enough to use it. I had D2 on another 2000 box but can't get
it here. What am I doing wrong?
