Solved Unable to run d2vidtst properly

Hi all!

Im new at this server and im having problems during the installation of glidewrapper.

I was suffering fps drops during the game so i started reading the forum for finding a solution. I saw that most of problems like that were solved installing the glide wrapper. I followed all the instructions of multiple posts of the forum but i cant still solve my problem. Even i tried to reinstall completely d2 3 times but the same problem occurs.

When i try to run d2vidtst everything goes ok until 3dfxglide test starts. Then an error appears: "Unhandled exception: acces_violation (c0000005)"
I tried changing DEP settings, downloading indirect sound... everything i found in forum... but i still have same problem.

Any ideas?

 

yes, i selected recommended settings of compatibility of d2vidtest, but the same error appears

 

I had the same issue, then i realised i had to run d2vidtest.exe as administrator and compatibility mode for windows xp sp 2.

 

omg, now i cant enter battlenet... i was doing a new reinstallation and a new error appeared. When i click on battle net inside the game, the "Unhandled exception" error appears and i cant enter the game. I went again to the forum and try all possibilities and its impossible now i cant enter the battle net. Trying to solve a minor problem i provoked a major problem, lol... need your help! (i did 5 or 6 new reinstallations erasing all files and registry and error continues)

 

Give my advice a try: search for the install disc images for D2 and for a set of cdkeys, use WinCDEmu to mount virtual images, then perform a clean install. After that, go to the Tools page on the EuropeBNet website and follow the steps there. Don't forget about the two important checks: Run as Admin and Compatibility Settings set to WinXP SP2.
It worked on my machine . Quite a while ago....

 

clearly there is something wrong on your side, try this : http://forum.europebattle.net/threads/common-game-errors-and-fixes.532466/ a full reinstall might be required in order to work aswell.

 

ok maybe thats the point, cause i cant click on the menu of DEP settings and i dont know why. I tried to do it with the CMD but im not sure if it worked. i upload a screenshot with my issue with the DEP. There is a message (im spanish sry) that says "u must be an admin to use this configuration, but im the admin and the unique user of my laptop...

 

with the knowledge and help of Gix i finally solve my problem. Activating againd DEP and reinstalling the game. Ty very much!
