I just found an old copy of Diablo (the first game) in a box and whacked it into my latop I purchased just yesterday.

After the quick install I hit play and found that the screen remained black (nothing was rendering). There was however sound.

I downloaded the patch but still nothing.

Being a new laptop I figure I might be missing some software required like Direct X maybe? I'm not really sure.

If anyone has any suggestions or knows of this issue that would be really helpful.
