Can you run Starcraft battlenet and Diablo 2 on a XP box?
Both games system requirements are Win98

You can run D2 and the LOD Expansion on XP Home / Pro, my girlfriend plays them both atm, or rather LOD.

This is achieved on a brand-new Toshiba Laptop.

Not sure about Starcraft. And there's always compatibility mode.

Starcraft also works fine even without updates, I have a I Pro and Home machine (Toshba laptop also) and they don't have any issues with it.

yep it runs fine on windows xp. We have the pro version.

now all I need is a router so my wife and I can play starcraft without it locking up.

Hi Logan2002,

Are you running Starcraft in compatibility mode?


Thanks all.....Mark

[BiG MiKeY]

the only game where i had to result in running it in a compatabilty mode was Red Alert..... but im not that much of a gamer except ut.... although i have run both games mentioned in the post on xp pro and home flawlessly

i use xp and i run both of those just fine

I can also vouch that both games work on Windows XP Home Edition without compatability mode.

I have Diablo II and the LOD expansion runs fine on XP pro. NO patches or anything:D
