My battle.net gets that error like SOMETIMES. Most of the time I can log on but sometimes that error comes up and I take a break from SC and when I come back, I can usually come back on Battle.Net again.
However this problem is very annoying and I wonder why this happens.


I'm on a Vista and I'm thinking this is why I'm getting this error.

But I did run as administrator and still..

any experts can help?

edit: i also rein stalled
doenst work

I get that error every now and then, I just close sc and reopen and it works just fine. Might be because I'm using chaoslauncher? I'm not sure, I have Vista too, so you're not the only one!

Havent played in a year or so, but that happened to me every now and then as well. Closing and restarting the game always solved the problem for me.

edit: I run XP, not Vista, so it's not Vista specific

The problem I noticed for me is that even though I restart SC, it STILL happens - wtf is up man lol

then I gotta wait a few and it's very irritating, when I'm in the mood to play a game =[

I wonder if any programmers have any idea on what's going on with my computer or the game.

The 5-6 times I've caused this error myself where

Using a no-cd program. I used to use virtual CD for bw, and it caused this. and a few others although I can't remember ... its been 5-6 years

Using pirated versions or alter bwed programs.

And having programs that alter the bw registry.

I don't know if you guys have done any of those, but I hope that helps.

if you're running chaos and the forcebind plugin, you have to turn it off

i'm running a vista as well and it works fine for me

the only other thing i can think of is if you ran a crack copy of d2 and accidentally tried to connect to b.net, they'll temp ban your IP for like 2 weeks

EDIT: orrrr, according to what the error message, says, you may have a computer virus. For information on detecting and removing this virus, you may contact us by email at support@blizzard.com lolololol

I don't think the virus is possible because why else am I on Vista? I got a new computer on Saturday

I get that error when I launch on chaos and then hit escape or cancel when I'm trying to connect to b.net or if I get dc'd sometimes. Just have to relaunch, no biggie.
