Some older sound blaster card (but with very latest drivers)
Win 98
Ok...well, I have the latest drivers for everything in my PC. I have ample hard drive space (am using 2.81 of 31 GB). My problem is that game crashes either with 'stack walk error: 487" or that c000005 thing. I have spent $30 on phone calls to blizzard. I have changed the settings on CDR drive to 'no-read ahead' and small cache size. I have copied files directly from the CD to the Diablo folder. My system is not overclocked or overheating (I have 3 mega fans in there). I have disabled sound to see if the card was the problem...it wasn't. I have done everything I have ever found that Blizzard says to do. I have even done things that I found online that have worked for others. I am fed up.
Although I rarely get the sprite decompression error anymore, I do get the stack error almost everytime after 5 minutes in game. I don't know if that is what is causing lock ups anyway. I just want the game to work.
When I first got the game, it ran fine for 2-3 weeks and then it started crashing. I have formatted the HD, checked for every virus over and over. I find it hard to believe that I just cannot play without crashing until a new patch comes out when I have friends that have never had a problem. Grrrr now I am just rambling. ;) Please help. I love your website. :)
