When I run Diablo, it crashes and event viewer has a log of 0xc000005 access Violation code. If I update the game to 1.09b the game creates a log of the error. I tried a ton of different DDraw.dll, and each have the same problem. Sometime the game runs and doesn't have problem but sometimes the game crashes in the middle.

It has been fixed: Re: Access Violation in Diablo

Stock Diablo has issues with DEP, you either need to turn it off (not advisable) or use a patched copy (like what GoG ships).

Details on what exactly needs to be patched can be found here: https://www.gog.com/forum/diablo/game_crashes … at_start/post27

So changing the storm.dll of the game fixed it. Funny part is the game ran on the same pc with same installation 2 months ago. Now it stopped. Also here is the edited file:
