I have a question I'm hoping someone can answer. I thought I had a virus on my computer (couldn't open programs) so I took it in today for help. During the whatever program they use to scan for "bad stuff" somehow my Diablo II game or files got corrupted and now it won't load.

I have many saved copies of the "Save" file of my character in the game. If I uninstall the game, reinstall the game to correct the corrupted files then paste the "Save" file back into the Diablo will this reinstall my character? There were many times the game would crash and I would lose things on the ground in town, so I would save and exit then copy the "Save" folder back which would revert the game to a previous point and I would get my items back, BUT does that only work if there already was a "Save" folder in the game? I.e., uninstalling the game would obviously delete the Registry entries for my character and I'm not sure just pasting the "Save" folder back into Diablo would re-enter the Registry entries . . . okay, I'm not explaining this very well at all.

Basically, if I unistall then reinstall then paste the "Save" folder does anyone know if this will reinstate my character? I have a level 52 bowazon that's taken me months to create and, dorky as it sounds, I've grown very attached to her and I'm quite upset thinking that she may be lost forever.

If anyone can advise me I would be so grateful. Any help at all is greatly appreciated. Thank you, thank you in advance.
