I also read in the whistler faq on the main page of this site that you can't install it over win2k? does that mean i should do a clean install?
thanks for any help.

Do a clean install. It just seems to work better that way for all M$'s products.

The 12.00 digitally signed ones are working fine for me. Try those.

I know in HL if I use D3D, I will have a black screen, so I have to use Open GL for it. I dont know if that will help with Diablo 2, but you never know.
