Classic environment

hey , I'm running 10.7.3 software, but im trying to install a program but every time i try to stall it.. this comes out

'"You can't open the application Diablo Installer because the Classic environment is no longer supported."

I was wondering if i could buy or download some type of program to run a old system...

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3), help me...

You could try using SheepShaver, which is an emulation program and allows the use of OS 9.0.4 or earlier to run Classic apps. Results in doing that with a game like Diablo or Diablo II may be less than satisfactory.


Blizzard has a patch available for Diablo II to install and run it directly in OS X 10.6.8 ot earlier.


If you are in fact wanting to install and run Diablo (not Diablo II), your best bet would be to buy an older Mac, one which can run the needed OS directly. A pre-QuickSilver G4 or G3 should work well for that. Ideally, you would want to get the OS install disks with it.

You don't need to set up a separte partition.
There is the os x installer for this very problem


http://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/diablo2/..._Installer.dmg


Once you go to the site it will immediatly begin the installer download.

Though you made need the actual disks for the install. But like Don

said you could attempt contacting them.


Or What I've done in the past is used clear car polishing wax. It works

super well. Just coat it, let it sit for a minute and wipe it carefully off

with a soft cotton rag. It will still look scratchy but it fills in the holes

pretty well.

Unless it is beyond repair. If that's the case... Good Luck sir!
