Stats:(yes, display from IRC, I'm lazy)

-Windows XP Professional (5.1 - 2600)
-Processor:(AMD K6/2) (450MHz) Memory:(280MB)
-Video: TNT2 32MB Resolution:(1024x768) Colors:(32bit) Frequency:(72Hz)
-HD's 40MB and 30MB Maxtors w/ pci controler
-CD's: Liteon read only, QPS R/RW

I installed Diablo II (legitimate copy, valid key) and in order to play, I have to put the play disc in the burner, wait for the popup that says the cd isn't there, switch to install isk, wait for the message again, then take that out and put the play disk in teh other cd drive. When I load it, it runs at a much lower framerate than before, and instead of battle.net, the box says "server.fsgs.net"

I've tried everything, from simple to hard, and 6 formats and countless installations later, still the same problem. Ideally, I'd get a new Motherboard and a new HD, which I need anway, because this board is nearly fried, but I'm befuddled. It used to work on this computer.

Any ideas at all?
