Diablo 2 freeznig

I broke out my diablo 2 and put it on my system running XP Pro. It will work for a few minutes and then freeze for 10-30 seconds. I have the latest D2 patch and fairly recent ATI drivers. Indexing service is disabled.

Actually, I have found a solution for the problem. I am guessing there is some kind of defect on my cd. If I load everything up and start the game, then remove the cd from the drive, it works fine.

Copy all the MPQs to your HD, the game will not access them on the CD.

Won't I still need the cd to load the program?

to start the game yes, unless you use some no-cd patch

I would make a copy of the disk and use Daemon Tools instead This is what I do so I don't scratch my original.

just get a no-cd crack
 
it pauses because it stops to read the cdrom drive - once te game has started take out the cd.
