Have you tried DLE-XP or whatever Diedel called it?

It would be here:

goto the RUN box and type CMD, this will open a DOS box for good.

then type

d: where D if your CD ROM drive letter
then type install

this should start D2 DOS install.

Glad I could help. If you are looking for D2 games, just d/l Kali (www.kali.net) and pay the 1 time life time registration fee and visit us on the Descent server.

Kali has a demo but you are limited to not hosting a game and also I think it's 15 minutes at a time.

Trust me though, it's worth he 20$ or 16$ if you use Paypal. I have 3 accounts and might buy more later just to support it. Kali also supports ANY IPX game and any new game coming out. Doom 3 support was added just last week also. it's great place and actually, Kali was created so people could play Descent 1 online.

Actually, the Kali demo is now a one-time 30-day trial. After that, you'll either have to use another e-mail address to continue the trial or pay the lifetime fee. I second Merlin's endorsement of Kali; it's a great program and well worth the cost.

Are you using D2x? If so, try using a lower res. Or turn off the AA or AF on your video card.

MAX

AA = Anti Aliasing
AF = Ansitropic Filtering

2 forms of technology to reduce the jaggies.

AA reduces jaggies

AF is a step up from trilinear texture filtering.
