Startup and then... BOOM crash.

Game starts, get to character creation, start new game, and the it freezes on the load screen. Music stops, game crashes. Any solution for this?

You may want to provide... a LOT more information if possible...

Some suggestions:
Windows version?
32 or 64 bit?
Type of video card?
Current drivers?
Did you run OALinst.exe?
Where did you extract the belzebub files to?
What does log.txt say?
Are you running with CD in drive, ISO Mounted in virtual drive, or copied data.mpq files to data folder?
Are you running as administrator?

Just some questions I thought of and there are likely a lot more.

Fair enough. Didn't even occur to me.


Windows 7
64 bit
AMD Radeon HD 6900
Drivers are up to date.
I did run OALinst.exe
Extracted belzebub in the download folder, then moved it all to the Diablo folder.
