Do you have a different optical drive that you can try?  Sometimes that helps with dysfunctional authentication.

oh my god do NOT buy this game

after some back and forth with SecuROM tech support, got a new executable from them that would actually load. here's what happened:

Try 1: Executable fails, demands I install a Vista hotfix related to graphics virtual memory paging
Try 2-5: Game loads, logos play, title screen, okay! Game crashes once I click "single-player." I spent a while trying to find video settings that would work.
Try 6: Success! I find the create a character screen and type in my character name, as it's at the top of the sheet and mouse focus starts there. Oops, I created a character.
Try 6.5: I back out, delete the accidental character, create a new one. My mouse sensitivity is totally fucked and about 50% of what it should be.
Try 7: Success! I am in the game! I am killing zombies! The chatty tutorial is annoying. It's hard to read item names on the ground cause they use weird font scaling. Hmm, I don't remember London streets being this...corridory. I got armor with some stats on it! Yay stats!

I port to the second area and the game crashes.

THE END.

It's funny, those crash bugs between zones have been in the game since I started playing it months and months ago. I filed many bug reports, but I guess shipping without frequent crash bugs wasn't a priority for Flagship!  BU BU BU DIABLO 2 TEAM!!!

Yeah, the talent doesn't suck, Flagship just lacks discipline. In an environment with good leadership and quality assurance they could kick some ass!
