It might be a good idea to make a backup of these folders via File->Export, in case something goes wrong.ģ. Clear the registry: Press Windows-R, enter regedit, confirm the action and find and delete the folders HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Blizzard Entertainment/Diablo II and HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/.
