I think you just need to ditch Vista and go back to XP.

Why stop there?  Uninstalling ME is even more fun!

That makes you the only person in the universe that feels that way.

Vista is the new ME.

Triple post, I'm sorry, but believe it or not, according to some sites I'm reading, it has less to do with Diablo's use of DirectDraw and more to do with Direct3D. Still no solution, but I'm continuing to look...


EDIT: Either run in Glide, or software (you will LOSE special effects if you run in software), and see if you get the same errors.

Run MAME32 in GDI mode, and see if that fixes it.


If this doesn't work, try the processor affinity settings.

If that doesn't work, make like us sensible people, uninstall Vista and run XP.

There's a simply checkbox to disable direct3D in D2 unless I am mistaken as well.

I think you're correct, it's been FOREVER since I've played that game.

I'm still running xp since vista won't run some dvd pirating software I have that works really good! I plan on having 2 machines if Vista becomes a necessity later on. I did however steal vista successfully

Totally. They are already talking about Windows 7, which will be a huge seller when it becomes availible just so that people can get Vista the f*ck off their machines. The exact same thing happened with ME. It was extremely similar to 98 SE that everyone had, but crashed all the f*cking time so that when people who bought OEM machines that came with ME had a chance to get XP they leapt at it. Now all the OEMs are shipping Vista machines...

I'm a pretty big MS hater, but I have to admit that XP is pretty solid. It crashes so rarely compared to any other version of Windows. I still hate configuring it, the UI in general, etc, but its not bad, really.

So, umm... BUMP?
