okay. go into your diablo directory, where the original game is that you open to run it...then make a shortcut to the game and put it on your desktop. then right click the shortcut thats on the dekstop and select properties, at the bottom of the list. the window comes up that shows the properties of the file, and there will be a text box that says (depending on your placement of the diablo folder): target file: "C:\Program Files\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe".
now! outside the quotations, put -w and hit okay. then open it and it should run in window mode. if anything goes wrong, lemme know
hope that is specific enough.

i've did what u said, but it coems up with a message saying:

The name '-w"D:|Diablo II\Diablo II.exe"' speceifield in the Target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct.

am i doing the wrong thing?
thanks
