Do you have your cd keys anywhere? Otherwise, there are softwares around in the internet that allow you to read out your cd keys of your actual installation. If you finally have those you are able to go to battle.net and register them to a battle.net account. If registered you get a new, longer gamecode and will be able to download it anytime you want.

Holding normal D2 and just deinstall Annihilus is not possible as far as i know. Also you need to know, that this is a modserver only using 1.13d patch as a basic. From normal diablo 2, patch 1.12 to 1.13d is nearly no difference... The mod changes the most things of the game...

Like i said, try to find out your cd key, go to battle.net and try to register a diablo 2 license. If you have done that its not longer a problem to get a fresh Diablo 2 installation as download and you can simply uninstall the complete Diablo folders from your pc. If you have done this, download a fresh from battle.net and then just dont install annihilus on it...
If you have problems because of the windows registry changes annihilus makes, pls ask the guy called "Game" here on annihilus.net. Maybe that is your problem.

If you made another folder for Annihilus like it said to in the installation instructions it shouldn't have affected your original installation, what issue are you having? If you were using 1.12 it doesn't sound like you were playing on battle.net.

P.S. calling something someone has worked on for over a year "crap" isn't the best way to get their help.

side note i did fix the issue it changed my advapi32.dll in the /system32 folder to a version for win7, so after replacing that and removing the mod files i got everything working.

@Game I'd also like to know how to remove these files. I did in fact make a new folder ect and it still did a hard over ride to all my game exe's.

Possible fix.
Uninstall D2,
Go to program files and delete any diablo 2 files with edited content in them.
reinstall.
