Transfer save files to new computer?

Hello,

This is my first post here, sorry if this is the wrong forum.

I just purchased a new computer (desktop). My old computer (laptop) has my Diablo II and expansion programs loaded. I have been playing Diablo II for many years but never on the web, only in single player mode versus the computer.

I loaded the game on my new computer and transferred the save folder in the Diabli II folder to my new computer. When I launch the game in the new computer I see no characters.

Am I allowed to transfer my characters? Did I leave out any files? Does the registry need to be tweaked? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
