Here's what you do.
Deinstall Diablo (control panel, add/remove programs), just remember to
save your character files.
Now, re-install from the CD. That'll put you back to V1.0, and you can
cheat to your heart's content, in private. You have a choice: cheat in
private, or play by the rules in public. Believe it or not, but there
are honest people out here who welcome this. Now I know that when I
meet folks, and trade with them on battle.net, I can be far more
confident that the stuff is legitimate. Also, as long as I stay in
town, I'm not gonna get killed.
FWIW, Kevin Lambert's Diablo Backup still works, so I can keep my
character safe, which suits me just fine. I can't *MODIFY* him, which
also suits me fine. However I have a backup in case of catastrophe.
If you can't play without cheating, that's fine: there's no place for
you on battle.net in that case. If you can't stand the heat, leave the
kitchen. Just quit whining.
