(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)
Posted by: belgario99
I allow myself to send this email because to you since I changed PC, Diablo 2 on battleNet at the end of 10 to see itself 3 minutes of plays, the only solution is of rebooter the machine. Having to launch a call on a forum of D2, it appears that there is a problem of incompatibility between D2 and the chipset Via KT133 & KT133 A. Can confirm that to me is to say itself if there is a solution to correct this problem and to be able to play D2 without problem.
I hold with specified that on my old PC not KT133 I never have had problem
I have a motherboard Asus A7 KT133A (Not Raid)
I thank you in advance

I am guessing that English is not your first language.
Try these new drivers.
There are more suggestions in this discussion.
Good luck.

Just to let you know, I am another that has been helped by this solution. I installed/uninstalled the game and 1.09b patch about 5-10 times with the same lockup problem.
As soon as I uninstalled everything and set my CD-Rom to Slave and reinstalled the game worked. I sent the guy from Blizzard that had been trying to help me this email:

Here is a thread that I have found that highlights my problem and gives me my solution. Check out: http://www.opentechsupport.net/foru...p?threadid=3110
This thread suggests setting the CD/DVD drive to slave. I did this and now the game works. I believe many others are having the same problem from my search on the web and in the newsgroups. This would be wise thing to post on your website to keep other users informed. As soon as you come out with a patch for the patch I would appreciate if you could let me know so I can change my system back to have the CD/DVD drive as the master on it's IDE port.

Hopefully they will realize that this is important enough to post on their website. Apparently they know that it is related to their copy protection schemes though.
My specs so you can compare:
Win98SE
Athlon 1.2Ghz
Abit KT7-RAID mobo (BIOS ZT)
384MB CAS2 Crucial RAM
30GB IBM HD on IDE3 (on Highpoint controller)
Pioneer 16x DVD on IDE1 (was master, now slave)
Sony 8x4x32x CDRW on IDE2 (master)
Running 1.03b Highpoint BIOS and drivers.
The only problem is that my DVD won't run in DMA mode under Win98 when I slaved it. It does run it in DMA when I am in Win2k (I dual boot, only using Win98 for gaming).
What kind of effect will not having my DVD in DMA mode under Win98 have?

There is a high likelyhood that your dvd playback will skip and be choppy.
