Totally Lost...Need Help Game Won't Work on OS X or Windows 7

Wow, I went to register a name on here today, and apparently I had an account already. I typed in my normal password, and it worked. Last log in was 10-16-2004. Just thought I would throw that out there. Now down to business.

I cannot run D2 on my Macbook, and it's making me very angry. I am not sure why, and am not getting very much help from Blizzard about this. So I'm turning to you the people. It's depressing that I can't get it to work for more than a week now. I have the disks, I have a working code for D2 and LOD on battle.net. I have tried to use it on OS X and Windows 7 through the disks and through the battle.net download. Neither work. OS X if the preferred version to play it on, but it says that the game has stopped working unexpectedly. The Windows version won't download LOD from the battle.net site. I hate this so much. I just want to play the game. Here are my stats for my computer. I mean I easily beat the minimal, but I'm not exactly sure why it won't work. PLEASE HELP.

Model Identifier: MacBook3,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.2 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 4 GB

Chipset Model: GMA X3100

Bus: Built-In
VRAM (Total): 144 MB
Vendor: Intel (0x8086)

If you need any more info for help, let me know. I'm in dire need to play, and hoping to get it going by this weekend.

If windows 7 is anyhting like Vista, did you try running D2 as administrator?

Always good to see old lurkers return, even if it is accidental :thumbup:

Ah, and based on what everyone was telling me I thought Mac's practically made you coffee in the morning :scratchchin:

Never-the-less, I might have missed on whether you tried this or not but apparently the Mac side of things have their own native installer, which can be found at http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?locale=en_US&articleId=20758, somewhere (I tried to find a direct link but no luck, it seems like it's in the store somewhere but I've never downloaded it myself).

Also, you never really mention the errors you are receiving (eg is it an install error, or an error after installation?). You mentioned that it comes up and says the game stopped unexpectedly, so I assume that this is after the installation period?

Also, what part do you refer to when you say Windows 7 won't download diablo from battle.net. Do you mean the patch or the digital copy from the battle.net account?

There's an installer app for macs (ninja'd by orphan since I left this open while watching stargate on hulu.com). As I understand it, d2 doesn't install correctly in OSX without the installer dled from the blizz website.

I've seen a few threads on windows 7 around here. Use the search tool to find them, and you may get some help with that.

Oh, that's linux. The only problem is that it makes you orange flavored decaf until you go through a few config files and change some seemingly irrelevant lines.

A word from a noobie: Have you tried installing patch 1.12 manually before running the game? >.>

Could you give me the names of the files and the lines to change... PLEEEEZEEE???? Mine's making me orange juice D:
