I have a full expansion installation, with all required .mpq files from the discs. I have the latest patch (1.13d or whatever), but I'm unable to run the game without the cd

I try to run it and it just prompts "Insert expansion cd"



what do?

I can't tell if you're being stupid on purpose or if it's natural for you.


Next please.

Found this in a similar thread hope it helps :)

If all required Diablo 2 '.MPQ' files are installed on the hard drive, the game will no longer require the CD to play.

For users that originally performed a 'Full Installation' and wish to run without the CD, all '.MPQ' files should be copied from the Diablo 2 CDs to the Diablo 2 directory. Most users will only need to copy D2Music.mpq from the Diablo 2 Play CD and/or D2xMusic.mpq from the Lord of Destruction CD. Mac users will need to copy these music files and rename them to 'Diablo II Music' and 'Diablo II Expansion Music' respectively.

Anyone who did not perform a 'Full Installation' will need to re-install from CD again to ultimately play without the CD. In this case, a 'Full Installation' is required, followed by file
copy step noted above.

It doesn't because as i said in my original post, I've already done all that ._.


Okay umm, are you running as administrator? if that doesn't work im not really sure whatelse you can do other then reinstalling off blizzard no cds needed.
or possibly your Target in your properties is set up wrong.

Not sure if this applies, but I play with no CD. I went to battlenet and registered my cd keys and installed from there. *shrug*
