You can.....download d2loader over write your regular loader that comes with the game then duplicate the whole d2 folder and you will have to d2folders grab a d2loader from each and put in toolbar or desktop and click both of them. that should work.

you are all wrong. A|fzZz has posted the correct way for multiple instances of Diablo on one computer.

Run Multiple Diablos

*BE SURE that you have setup the bot first!*

You will need the following :
-Diablo II 1.10
-Onlyer's CD-Key Changer
-You may need WinZip to unzip the folders. (homepage)
-You should now only have to download the CDKey Changer because everything else should be setup.

Unzip the D2CDKey Changer into desired directory.
Make sure your Diablo II: Lord of Destruction CD is in its drive
Go to: My Computer and right click the drive your expansion cd is in, and click open.
Copy d2xmusic.mpq and d2xvideo.mpq from the LOD cd to your Diablo II directory.
Once copied, you can play Diablo without a CD in the drive!
Now you need to copy/paste the auto-cdkey.reg and the d2-cdkey.exe from the d2cdkey folder to your Diablo II directory.
THESE SHOULD BE THE ONLY FILED YOU COPY AND PASTE FROM THE D2CDKEY FOLDER! LEAVE THE OTHER THINGS IN THE FOLDER.
Right click on auto-cdkey.reg and select 'edit'. This is what you should see:

Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\Diablo II]
" owner"="onlyer"
" d2cdkeympq"="cdkey.mpq"
" d2xcdkeympq"="cdkey.mpq"
" d2cdkey"="2462829MHEJVHE2W"
" d2xcdkey"="EWF94EPWRXNWZ2CP"

We are only concerned with the last two lines.
**NOTE** Don't forget to change the "owner" name from "onlyer" to yours.
Delete the CD keys already on the "d2cdkey" and the "d2xcdkey".
THESE KEYS ARE NOT VALID AND WILL NOT WORK!
You should end up with something like this:

Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\Diablo II]
" owner"="onlyer"
" d2cdkeympq"="cdkey.mpq"
" d2xcdkeympq"="cdkey.mpq"
" d2cdkey"=""
" d2xcdkey"=""

Insert your second set of CD keys( NOT the ones that are already installed on your computer). They do not have to be in upper case but do not use dashes. You should end up with something like this:

Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\Diablo II]
" owner"="onlyer"
" d2cdkeympq"="cdkey.mpq"
" d2xcdkeympq"="cdkey.mpq"
" d2cdkey"="2763869BHTJWHM2Z"
" d2xcdkey"="PWW96EQWNXWWM2SP"

*** NOTE *** Those are _NOT_ valid CD keys, I just made them up.

Close this file. It will ask if you want to save the changes, click 'Yes'.

Double click the file. It will ask if you want to import this file to the registry. Click 'yes'. It should then tell you the file was imported to the registry.

Now, double click d2-cdkey.exe. Click 'Refill both CD Keys'. Prior to this step, ensure delete all cdkey.mpq files, including the one given by Onlyer's cdkey refiller's zip file .

You will be asked to select an install directory. Choose wherever you have Diablo installed (For most people: C:\Program Files\Diablo II\ ). When you click 'Ok' you will be given a scary warning about files already existing in that directory and you may overwrite them. You can safely ignore that warning and click 'Install Anyways'
Click 'Exit Installer'.

Now you are going to make a new shortcut to Diablo.
Right click on your desktop and select 'Create new shortcut'. Have this shortcut point to your Diablo II.exe file (C:\Program Files\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe ). You can name the shortcut whatever you want.
Once the shortcut is created, right click on it and select 'Properties'.

You should have a box that says 'Target path' with something similar to this written in: "C:\Program Files\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe". Notice the quotation marks. Those are important! Leave them be.

Change this line to read like this: "C:\Program Files\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe" -w -mpq cdkey.mpq

Please note the space after the last quotation mark. THIS IS IMPORTANT! Make sure the space is there.

The -w makes it run in window mode.

That's it! You should now be able to run two Diablo windows with no CD. Your original Diablo shortcut should work as always while the new shortcut you created will open a second Diablo in a window. Both of them will be able to connect to the same realm on different accounts.

there you go.
