Well , I don't know what to say . I didn't know what version of D2 I had so
I looked at the disk and cover it came in ( I have several )  and maybe this
isn't the same disk I had been trying but it installed just the way it was
supposed to .
I was asked during installation how much I wanted to keep on disc and how
much to put in the hard drive . I picked crazy because I have the room. Is
there one level that is better than another? I guess when 1 gig HDs were
cutting edge that was more of a concern. It said that the play would be
better if I put more of it on my HD. Is this true?
I am very happy to have D2 back on my system.
