Already done all that. Reinstalled Diablo and LOD twice now.
Reinstalled CE version 7.50 and the update to 7.51a both times. At the
moment I can activate and deactivate CE. LOD works just fine when CE
is deactivated. When CE is activated, I can hear the LOD disc spinning
up then nothing. I do have an Image of the LOD disc mounted so as to
save on having to handle the disc. I would unmount the disc, but
Daemon tools got corrupted somehow and when I uninstalled it, the
virtual drive remained and i can't for the life of me figure out how
to get rid of it. I tried installing the latest version of daemon
tools but that doesn't recognize the virtual drive the image is
mounted on (I really hope that all makes sense). I'm not sure if the
image is the problem or not as when I put the LOD disc drive in my
cd-rom, the game seems to be running off of that and not the virtual
drive. If anyone has any suggestions as to how to unmount the LOD
image, I'd be happy to try them (I'm going to see if i can find the
original version of Daemon tools that I used and see if that helps).

It *does* make sense, at least as far as someone who's never used a
virtual drive can follow ;-) Yeah, that may be the problem, again the
anti-cheat thing in this mod is *very* strong, and I wish I could help
with that, but you're *way* beyond my ken here.

The Good News: I've found out how to get rid of that orphaned
virttual drive (Daemon tools installs an SCSI controller you have to
get rid of). I've also gotten rid of a virtual drive thart Alcohol 120
had installed.

The Bad News: Chaos Empire still won't start up.

At this point I give up.

Same question, and maybe one or two more: You *are* activating it from
the CE Activator in the programs menu first, right? And did you rename
any Data folders before you installed? Also, did you also download the
7.50 version and then upgrade it to 7.51a? I didn't, just got the
whole 7.51 file from the website, and haven't had any problems.

Where did you get the full 7.51 version. I only see version 7.50 and
the 7.51a upgrade on the website at Phrozen Keep?

I've reviewed the forums, but can't find the answer to this one. Maybe
you know. What are the oils for? I've tried double clicking on them
and that doesn't seem to do anything. They can't be cubed. Are they
just for gambling or something? I now have quite a large collection,
but if they're useless I'll dump them. Otherwise, if there's something
to them, I need to know that so I can start using them.

Got through the Forgotten Tower. Very easy. My merc now has a Blitzen
Composite Bow with 20% chance to cast lightening strikes. What a
difference that makes. She kills the crowd before I even get into the
room, lol.

Oh, and the torches. So far I gather you just right click on it and
it's supposed to give you more light. Well, from my experience, they're
not that great unless I'm not doing something right.

In any case, this is quite a game. Oh and one more thing. I tried
putting my gold into the shared stash and it doesn't work for me. Any
trick to that?

You have to cube them with an item. Some are for weapons, some are for
armor, and some *should* be for both (although the author didn't say
that, in the one post I found on the forum that talked about them).
You'd know which if you'd played Hellfire, but apparently you didn't
;-) Some of them, like the Oil of Permanence, are *very* useful (makes
an item indestructible), some are more so now than they were in
Hellfire (the ones that add 1 to damage, for instance) because the
effects are now permanent, instead of only for one game. If you want
more info on them, download Pedro's most excellent guide to Diablo and
Hellfire, Jarulf's Guide, at
http://www.lurkerlounge.com/content/view/751/110/#Download . I just
did, as I didn't have it on this machine ;-)

Heh, yeah. The Bowazon gambled one of those, but her merc was one
level too low to use it. She made the mistake of putting it in the
shared stash, the Druid, who's merc was one level higher, snagged it.
I'm having the same "problem", not only is the merc killing things
before I see them, but the first time that lightning went off he was
running away before I realized it wasn't an enemies' fire ;-)

Sounds like you're doing it right, but check the second page of your
stats within a minute or two of right-clicking it. It *should* show
you at roughly 1000% MF, and an equal or better number for Gold Find.

Hmm, I'm not sure, it worked for me. Try emptying the personal stash's
gold first? That *shouldn't* be it, because I"m pretty sure the Druid
had filled the personal one before the Zon filled the shared, but I
might have somehow reversed them.

definitely trying to activate from start menu (it tries, says it cant find
the chaosempire.ce file and then gives "chaos empire mod activation failed")
just re-checked the website 7.50 is the last full install, 7,51a is only
available as an upgrade and I downloaded them from his site not one of the
other servers : /

Ah, cube with an item. That would be it. OK, so now I'll see what I
can get. I can use an indestructible sword, lol. Thanks for the link.

LMAO. I know what you mean. It took me a bit to realize that the
lightening strikes were coming from my merc too. AAMOF, I had to check
out her bow to realize that's where it was coming from, lol.

That could explain why I'm getting such 'HUGE' amounts of gold at times.

I'm wondering if you're shared stash is working b/c you have more than
one char. I only have my barb. Haven't started another, although I may
be soon. I'm having quite a time in the Cathedral. Cripes. I've never
seen sooooooooooo many monsters to kill all in one place at the same
time. I've gotten killed 3 times already, so I think I need to level up
a bit more. I'm at clvl20 right now and I thought that might be enough,
but there's just too many guys to kill and my merc is having a time of
it as well. I'm using my HOWL, but that's not helping all that much. I
probably should have put something in THROW so I could throw down an
fumilgating potion and just get rid of them, but I've never done throw
before.

I'm done for tonight. I'll try again tomorrow. I'll accept any
suggestions.

Nite.

That shouldn't be it, as there shouldn't be a reason you couldn't fill

You don't need the throw skill to throw potions, it just makes you
better at it (I think). Try equipping them instead of your sword,
especially with how powerful they are in this mod they *should* help
out quite a bit. Or, better yet, equip them on the weapon switch, so
you can switch back to your sword quickly, if need be.

I browsed the forum's myself to find the solution and someone posted that it
had issues with directory names with a space in them eg: C:/program files,
so when I re-installed I made it into C:/games and its now working fine. I
also didn't load in the modified .dll that allowed you to run multiple
instances of D2 on one comp, so that could have also been the culprit,
either way I dont know how long this mod will stay on board because I still
will play realms and it will be a pain loading that .dll in and out
everytime as well as remembering to activate/deactivate CE

Which dll is it that allows you to run multiple instances of d2 on one
comp? I'm assuming this is something CE installs? (otherwise it's not
going to be on my computer anyway).

As for the directory name thingy, LOD is installed in a directory
called Diablo on my D drive, so it's not a problem being caused by
spaces in the directory name.

Nope, this is a slightly hacked version of d2game.dll (I think, like I
said I don't have the hacked one on this computer) that allows you to
open two (or more?) instances of the game on the same computer. You'd
have had to manually put it in, so it's probably not there. I got it
from Chuck's site, now moved, but there's a possibly different file
mentioned in http://www.gunde.de/diablo2/agd2faq.html#install , if you
want it.

Do you have a cd burner program like ahead nero? That offers a virtual
drive, too, and maybe the LoD cd is inserted into *that* virtual drive,
as my own is.

I'll give it a try. Now the question is, how do I "equip" my weapon
switch. You see, up till now, I've only equipped my switch with swords
or sabers. How would one equip a weapon switch with a bottle of potion?
Yeah, I really have LOTS AND LOTS to learn and I never fail to come up
with SILLY NOOOOBIE QUESTIONS.

Not a problem, and believe me, it's a joy to find a question about a
Barb (well, it *is*, since that's what you're playing) that I can
answer ;-) Ok, first, of course, you hit "w" or the weapon switch tab
on the inventory to get to your secondary weapon/possible shield (it
can, of course, be a second sword, with a Barb). Put a potion in your
right hand (where the sword usually goes). Close the inventory, click
the right attack button, and set it to throw (you'll see it, it should
be right beside the normal attack button). You're set!

As it happened, I looked here for a response about 10 mins ago. When I
didn't see anything, I figured I'd try to use what little brain is left
in this aged head and see if I could figure it out myself. Well, I do
surprise myself. I removed my swords, and replaced the right hand with
a bottle of potion and surprise, surprise it just stayed there. And,
not only that, but there's about 36 throws per bottle. Of course, this
isn't *news* to you, lol. I tried the fumulgating potion. Yeah, it
bombs them, but not to the extent that I was hoping for. What I'm
really looking for is something I can throw that will be VERY extensive.
I want to wipe out an entire field of bad guys at once. Is there any
such potion, or is the fumulgating potion the only bomb-like substance
available?

I have quite a respectable selection of runes at this point. I'm about
to the point where I'm going to need to make another "page" in my stash
for runes. Not only are they dropped quite nicely, but I manage to get
more from my Kinder eggs.
