7.66 Install Problem
webwalker:
Can you build a bootable CD? Memtest should work from that.
I dual-boot win98se and linux (RHEL 3.4), and one of the grub entry tables is memtest.
If you can't get a clean-boot of memtest, go the the prime95 site and download the "big prime number hunter". It's a small package, and included a torture test that runs the numeric algorithm against know results. This is a good way to determine if you're over-over-clocked.

This is where I should point out that I have the computer IQ of a retarded goldfish....That whole over clocked thing is a term I read about and never get..kinda like girls at this point. So yeah..What does all that stuff you just said mean? I am asking because if I run it and get the info back...chances are I won't be able to do anything with it sence it will look about like that german stuff I got earlier..lol.

OK, that was my best laugh for the day! Thanks! (I have retarded goldfish, btw, and a *really* retarded frog!)
You have enough RAM (2GB).
You have enough processor (P4 2.8GHz).
I will presume that the local goldfish have not overclocked your system... so this opens up some unplesant guesses: virus, defective hardware, corrupted download.
For the virus question, TrendMicro has a download HouseCall virus scanner, there may be better but I don't know them (I'm not computer-ignorant, but my goldfish know XP as well as I do, since I'm a Win98SE user). Please, XP-competent folk, chime in with what virus scanners can do a good check on an XP system.
For the defective hardware question, can you play other games fine? D2LOD on battle-net? UnrealTournament? Quake? DoomIII? Also: try to download http://mersenne.org/gimps/p95v2414.exe and run it as a torture test (that's one of its options). Can your CD write (CD-R or CD-RW) or is it read-only? Can you make a bootable CD?
You may someday understand computers, but girls will remain strange forever. Deal with it, that's just how they are.

Ok..I used my McAfee virus scanner..nothing found...I ran the torture test for 7 hours straight and it found no errors...and I can run all other games fine. Right before I DLed the CE mod I was running another LOD MOD that worked fine..I reinstalled Diablo and all...and as far as I can tell all my hardware works fine. So that leaves a bad download...but how can I get all the downloads as bad ones...and for differant site...Any input at this point would be nice..lol. Thanks.

Have a look at:-
Ultimate Boot CD for Windows
http://www.ubcd4win.com/
If I remember correctly this has memory testing utilities
