Why won't Diablo 2 work with VISTA ???

Well Truthfully its cause Vista Pretty much sucks i dont know it might your computer but your computer sounds nice so i dont knowSup11722

Please never participate in a discussion like this, ever again...  for the good of the community. "Might be your computer"?  wow... 

VISTA =sux for gaming

VISTA-Good for business

That's wierd :?

I'm able to run Diablo, Diablo II and all other old games just fine without any problems on vista.

diablo 2 was released around six years before vista, it wasn't built for vista - asking why d2 won't work on vista is like asking why your old key won't work when you get your lock changed

that said, it definitely can run in vista - try running in a compatability mode (does vista even have compatability modes?) or just bypass the error if possible (you might be able to acknowledge the error and play anyway?) 

checking the official diablo 2 forums would probably be a smart move - specialised forums are always the better place to look for problems, if you've encountered it - chances are many other people have too, which means there's probably an official or unofficial faq/what to do that you can find with a few minutes of clicking

I'm sure you've tried the obvious..but in case not:

Reinstall it?  Maybe with a different setup- like how you can choose to install everything including the game videos onto harddrive..or just the game data..and I think there is other options.  Try different ones out.

Does it have the latest patch? Get it.

Does it break when you have latest patch?..the same way without the patch- just out of the box?  Maybe try other patches..if it works: play a bit, then try completing the upgrade to latest.

Not sure, but if others have the same version of VISTA and are claiming they got it to work fine: chances are you could get it going after some fiddling.  Good luck.

System Shock 1 was not made during XP.. it was made in the Win 3.1 era.. yet it runs. .:)

Bad analogy..

But I have heard D2 works in compatability mode in Vista.. So possibly DosBox will soon run in Vista :)

yeah, there are exceptions to every rule - some games work fine, some games don't work at all

which is like getting a new lock that is the same model as your previous lock, and while new, your old key still works

i hate being so pedantic, but i like my analogy very much!
