The death of IPX protocol [IPX + UDP Fix]

[Belix]

IPX may not be the biggest concern. Our luck may be running short when it comes to DirectX and backwards compatibility. I tried the Win 7 beta some months ago, and no matter what I did I could not get Diablo to use the right palettes. Is anyone running Diablo on Win 7?

I'm glad you asked, because I had this same problem with the Windows 7 Release Candidate and fixed it.

The color palette issue seems to be caused by the explorer shell (your Start Menu, Task Bar etc.) running in the background. The fix is a simple batch file in the Diablo folder that you launch Diablo with:

Code:

@echo off
@taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe
@diablo.exe
@echo To return to Windows, select this window and
@pause
@Start explorer.exe
@exit
