The problem I'm having is getting Diablo 2 LOD to start up in Directdraw mode. I'm running Windows 7 on a new Netbook(ASUS eeepc 1005HA). The game starts fine in D3D, but will slow down when a number of enemies are on the screen; it makes the game a lot less fun. The game will start in directdraw in windowed mode, but I don't want to play it in windowed mode because the screen on my netbook is only 10 inches.
The game WILL start in Directdraw in fullscreen, but it takes about 5-10 minutes to load and the colors are messed up. There is a lot of bright green where there shouldn't be. Also, during the load it displays random numbers and characters in the very top left corner of the screen. I've tried a couple combinations of compatibility modes and administrator privilege, but none seem to have any affect. Checking 640x480 causes the resolution to continually fluctuate. Finally, changing resolutions while in Windowed mode caused the game to crash.
I'm not expecting a cure all to all of these problems, but I would just like the game to load fullscreen in directdraw without having to wait 5 minutes. Does anyone have a solution or suggestion? Thanks in advance.
