Reinstall the game, and start a modem game instead of a battle.net game.
Now you should be able to patch up your characters (that's if you have used Enigma's
Backup utility 5.3 or 5.4).
Once you log onto the batttle.net your game will be automatically patched up to version 1.02. 
This simply prevents you from using Enigma's backup utility (among other things), so you should 
patch up your game before connecting to it.

Cheers,

a horny little devil.

Go to http://www.users.lith.com/~kevin/diablo and download DiabloBackup v2b
and you will be able to save a backup image.  It is not a tool for
modifying your character, though, so it may save you from that slippery
slope.  It works with the patched version of Diablo, so you do not have to
do the uninstall/install song and dance some would have you perform.

Be seeing you,
