Cool, I'll try that when I get home... thanks!
Did that tip help you out?
Sorry to take so long to respond. I have been playing Diablo III a lot. Tried the "music" subdirectory trick and it actually tried to work. I usually got a black screen, then a watch icon/pointer, then crash... all in about 2 - 3 seconds.
This time, I got a black screen, watch icon/pointer, black screen, watch icon/pointer then crash, but it took about 5-6 seconds to transpire. So, maybe I was double screwed and the music folder was just the first issue that your suggestion fixed.
Again, I appreciate your input and sorry for the delay in responding.
