Win7 & Diablo II

Planet Diablo outlines problems users have been reporting trying to run Diablo II under Windows 7, some unable to run the game in full screen mode, with others reporting other graphical bugs, and even crashes. They also outline some solutions and workarounds that may help get the old school action/RPG running on the new school OS. Thanks Ant.

I seem to remember running in Windows 2000 mode to get mousewheel support working in Vista, and with ATI drivers at the time I had to disable desktop compositing to get it to start in Direct3D mode. This isn't really surprising.
