Running the program in compatibility mode (for winXP, etc) is not necessary and will only reduce performance.
What video mode did the video test suggest? Also, make sure to try the other video modes as well as your video card might not properly support Blizzard's suggestion.
Hmmmm. The only reason that I run the program in compatibility mode was because the game wouldn't run otherwise. The game attempted to start and locked up on a black screen. Putting it into compatibility mode was the only thing that seemed to fix it (back when I was troubleshooting it). I'll revisit that tonight to see if I can run it with compat mode.
The video mode suggested 3D mode (I understand from reading other posts that the tool will suggest this for almost any computer today that supports 3D). I'll try the 2D mode (since there were only 2 suggestions from the video test) tonight as well.
That post to the previous problem is based on a netbook. Netbooks, believe it or not, have the processing power of a pentium... combine that with all the modern processes in todays operating systems, and you get a slow but machine.
Please post your computer specs, or brand/model.
The problem I have with my computer is that it is WAY overkill, and it causes the game to get insane fps (more than 1-1.5k. This causes... well.. shuddering in my monitor.. I didn't care too much, as I mostly play in windows mode, and the problem isn't as bad. To fix it I would need to find a way to cap the FPS. And no, Vsync in ccc or nvidia control doesn't work with D2.
