Have you tried running it in both Software and RAVE and seeing if the crashes persist with both settings?

Did you change the memory allocations on the Diablo II application at all? Blizzard recommends not changing it as the game apparently takes memory from unused system RAM; the application's RAM is used for critical operations.

You may be having a problem I just been battling with in StarCraft. I just found out that Apple CD/DVD Driver 1.3.5 which comes in 9.0.4 apparently has a problem with 1999 PB DVD-Rom drives. If the drive spins down for an extended period of time, seemed to about 15 min or so, the it won't spin up again causing access problems. I do not know if it affects the CD-Rom drives or not. But going back to Apple CD/DVD Driver 1.3.1 from the 9.0 OS CD seems to fix the problem.

Hope this helps.

Problem solve.

There was software that was generating all the problem. I uninstall it and now i can play as much as i want !

The problem was MACOS 9.04

I went back to OS 8.6 and everyting is just fine. Now i wonder about OS X...

Tanx all.
