Recently got a new laptop with windows 8 on it, more than meets the specs for the game, but the install with the disk stops at 0.2%, what, if anything can I do to install? Is it a windows 8 problem?

Still having problems? Try finding the setup.exe file in the cd and run it as administrator. Can also try disabling your firewall or antivirus program. If I recall, D3 tries to download the patches as you install. This could be causing the problem.

Yeah, I just can't seem to get it to work, I'll try that though. Tried the D3 forums and the admin guy was zero help.

Windows 8 is trying to tell you not to waste your time playing Diablo 3

run that program from that link to make sure your laptop can even run the game.

Are you getting any errors? If so, Have you checked event viewer?

Also I did a quick google search and saw half a dozen various "fixes" for different people, have you tried these solutions?

No errors, most of the searches I have done have only shown fixes for people who upgraded from 7 to 8.

Download the Download Client from Battle.net

Worked fine for me but I also never used a CD to download the game.
