lord of destruction question

[piesore]

My friend gave me the loader...like I said I can actually start the game and access my account without the CD. But it freezes after that point. I don't have the CD, like I said, I lost it a long time ago. I played about a year and 1/2 a go maybe two years, and stopped, and have just started playing again. I just rebought the original diablo, and was hoping I could save 20 bucks and not have to repurchase this game. I don't have the gateway...I'm actually not sure what that is, I'm not familiar with the terminology.

I burned a copy of the game from my friend. But since the CD protection stuff, it doesn't fully burn I guess, so I was able to install the game using that CD, but unable to play it. So that why I asked my friend for the loader. I did have my own CD key, so it was just an issue of getting the game to run. I'm not sure if there's something not on the CD b/c of the CD protection. To reiterate, the slot where it says USwest/east/eroupe/asia, its blank. But I can still click and it will access my account. It brings up the screen with yoru characters, but freezes without showing them.
