Are you getting that message when you try to install LoD?

And for future reference please don't post with tons of dots to seperate sentences. Haha. It sounds like your problem is just that you're trying to start the game with the wrong disc. And what precisely have you tried?

it does sound that way huh? first im supposed to install diablo1 then install d2 then d2 lod.like i said ,d1 works fine with one exception ,installation of d1 should lead directly to installation of d2,im not getting an option for a desktop shorcut or anything.and when i try to install d2 it keeps telling me to eject the play disk and put in the install disk...the install disk for d2 "is" d1.i dont know what ta do.

Diablo 1 is not the install disk for Diablo 2, you do not need to have Diablo 1 installed at all, nor do you need to have the Diablo 1 disk in order to install Diablo 2.

Diablo 2 consists of 3 cd's: The Install disk, the Play disk and the Cinematics disk. The expansion for Diablo 2 (Lord of Destruction) is 1 seperate disk.

You need to find the Install disk for Diablo 2, and start installing with that.

ha I thought you already knew that,ya you dont need the D1 disc to instal D2 unlike everquest or the sims.
