Im having a problem with the screen being all messed up, looks like my system doesnt like the resolution that diablo2 uses ..can only see half the screen. I tried changing my systems res to 800x600 with a working resolution for windows but when i start the game its still scrwed up. Im on a Viper770ultra (TNT2u) ref 3.69 ..i tried using the 3.78 but those freeze my system as soon as i launch the game, also tried using 3.66 ones but they dont help, my system can't boot up with any of the 5.* detonator drivers. Any ideas?

I tried a number of drivers, 5.17, 5.16, 5.14, 3.69, 3.66 and 3.78 but I get refresh rate errors with all of them, all I can see is half the screen on each side with a big messed up part in the middle. I tried using PowerStrip to force diabloii.exe to use a refresh rate that my system supports but that didn't work. Maybe there is a way to change the default 800x600 res to some other, my video gets messed up if I run that res at anything other then 72Hz Any ideas?

Well I was able to install the detonator 5.17 drivers but that didn't help. I still get the half screen when i launch the game, it looks like a refresh rate problem, for some reason my system is having a problem with the 800x600 res unless I use a 72hz refresh rate, its fine then. I tried using PowerStrip to force DiabloII.exe to use a 72hz ref. rate but it wouldn't work. Im still lost
