We should get some people together and try it sometime then!

Yes, Jean I have spent 12 hours on D3 and tried everything suggested in the forums and spent 18 hours of my time and followed everything in the forums for MoP. Just wasn't meant to be, but I'm glad you guys are enjoying them

Ahhhh Debra, that stinks.

I'm sorry you can't get on Debra. Hopefully once it goes live you won't have that problem. I haven't tries MoP yet -- I have too much stuff on my computer to download another beta.

Hmm. I know Diablo isn't scheduled to go live till May 15. I prepurchased the game a month ago and downloaded the client so I'd be ready when it goes live. But I don't see an icon for it, or a list in the program files. Does anyone know what it shows up under? I know I've seen it before!

JeanK, that is a great question. I just redownloaded it to my new computer. I'm hoping it shows up on the 15th.

Hmmmm, just looked under Program files and discovered that I downloaded Starcraft....not Diablo. Take 2 in the works!

Edit: Jean, mine shows up under Program Files on my 2nd hard drive as that is where I install games. Yours should be visible using Explore. I don't however have an icon yet, but the game itself is there.

Looney,

When you download the client do you click Run or Save? I click on run and I got all these choices on where to place it. I have Win 7 64-bit. I don't have a clue on what I'am doing.

Lindy, normally when you click "run" you get a choice to accept the default or to Browse to wherever you want to save. You can accept the default, which is your C drive. If you do that, then the game would be in C:/Program Files (x86)/Diablo. (Slashes may be pointing the wrong way, but the folders should be correct)

Follow the instructions below for checking that with Explore (not Explorer, the browser...confused me forever)

If you want to install to a drive other than your C, you should be able to select Browse or Change and then 1) click on "my computer."

That brings up your drives...2) select the one you store your games on. For instance, my C drive has only my operating system. I put everything else on my other drive, which it seems would be D and was on my XP, but on the new one it is F.

Anyway, click on the drive you want to send the game to.

3) From the list on the drive you picked, click on Program files.

4) Then you click on "Accept" or "Apply."

That should send the game to whichever drive you selected. Depending on your connection, it may take a bit to finish downloading.

To be sure it is there, you can open up Explore (right click on the Windows key at the far left bottom). Select "Open Explore."

Once the game has finished downloading, follow the steps above (1-4) after opening Explore and you should find a Folder called "Diablo_III-8370-enUS-INstaller." If it's there you were successful but you won't have an icon yet. I'm assuming we will be able to open that folder and run setup or install once the game goes Live, but that is a total guess. I'm sure I will be able to find out though for sure before the 15th.

I redownloaded it and put it on my desktop. As I was getting ready to save it I saw that the first time I downloaded it it showed up under networking something or other, which is strange because I don't have a network set up.

Do you think the game will get confused since I have two save now? Should I somehow delete the other one? I'm getting confused here. Can I just delete the other folder?

Thanks Looney, I'll give it a try.

Jean I will ask.

Thanks, Looney. YOu know, since I retired I don't have anyone I can ask technical questions. I live in a 55 and older community and most folks here don't have a computer!

Edited to say: Good grief! I didn't realize beta was over. I guess that means I can delete the beta stuff. Well, back to Wow for a week or so!

I know what you mean Jean....I'm lucky in having kids I can ask and a hubby who can handle most of the things I break on the computer.

Speaking of asking, I called my middle son. His advice is to delete both and download it again to be sure there all files end up where they should be.

If you don't have unlimited web he said then delete the oldest one, but he said if it were himself, he'd delete both.

THanks! I'll do that.

does this thread mean some boomers play WoW?

and what realms and styles? pvp or pve ?
