pansynator Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Hey, I got Diablo 2 for my recent birthday and havn't been able to play it due to an error with my Direct X. This is how the display tab looks. Does anyone know what the error is? Thanks. :) ---Do not ask God for an easy life.

Jaziek Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 right click on the shortcut for diablo 2 and click on properties. then click on the compatability tab and choose windows 95 or 98 from the list. also check the other 2 boxes for 256 colours and 640x480 and see if that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weezcake Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 You have no video driver installed. Install it. If you don't know what to download, just tell us what graphics card you have. Or the brand and model of computer, if you don't know what your gfx card is. ==================================Retired tip.it moderator.Teaching and inspiring.

BlueLancer Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Are you sure your computer even has a graphics card? This is *very* important for any games (except runescape which runs on CPU) half-decent, which includes Diablo II. And indeed not all computers have a graphics card when you buy it, you may need to purchase a separate one. ATI and Nvidia produce the best ones which cost from $100 to $500. Just how important is it? Let's say, the difference between playing a game with a graphics card as opposed to playing it without a graphics card could be 100fps (frames per second), or even more. Some games wont run without it. If you're sure you have a gfx card (very likely) go to the manufacturer's website and download their latest driver. 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezcake Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Well even with an onboard card, you should download the driver. Or else it'll hurt your eyes to do regular things like browse the web.. ==================================Retired tip.it moderator.Teaching and inspiring.

pansynator Posted January 12, 2007 Author Share Posted January 12, 2007 Oh? Thankyou. Where can i downloaded a driver from my manufacturer. Foremost, where can i find out what manufacturer i have? ---Do not ask God for an easy life. Ask him for the strength to endure a difficult one.Pansy: a weak, effeminate, and often cowardly man.
