I realize this game is like a million years old but I would greatly appreciate any help. When I try and login I get:

"Your system has not been configured to support 32-bit Internet applications..."

So if D1 simply doesn't work on 64bit Vista then I'll cry, but if there's something/anything as a workaround please let me know!

I have no other problem running older games online so I'm stumped!

Hi Ban-hammer,

I remember being able to play 1.09 Diablo 1 under Vista 64, but never tried getting online with it. Diablo 1 is an old 32-bit application made for Windows 95. You could try running the game in some of the compatibility modes that Vista provides but this is an unsupported OS for Diablo 1. Also keep in mind that there is no IPX protocol on Vista so you cannot do IPX LAN games.

Thanks for the reply Datth,

Good news, I got it working!. Pretty stupid of me but after an install from the disc, and an attempt to go online without avail I never thought to manually download the latest patch. After getting 1.09b it worked perfectly!

You made me think to manual patch, so thanks.
