Is there any way to run Diablo 2 in a window, or change its resolution at all? Ideally I'd like to run it 1440x900 windowed, but I'd be glad to have anything other than its default of 640x480 FS.

I hope someone can test and post screenshots soon.

Damn you all.

You know how buried this is in my storage?

I will test this method when I get home tonight.

Hopefully, it won't get me banned by Blizzard, though.

Try offline first. No point getting banned by something that may not even work right.

I'd love to try it if I knew where my D2 discs were. ; ;

Well, I have to admit, when I first tried this according to the steps on the web site, I thought it just didn't work.

But then I figured, it was just due to my using it on Vista x64 so I went upstairs to put the little ones to bed.

To my pleasant surprise, when I returned, my screen had several 1024x1280 and 1280x1024 windowed D2 windows open due to my having launched it several times because they did not come up immediately.

I've closed the ones w/ the wrong aspect ratio and kept my 1 correct 1280x1024 window and will proceed to try playing in single player mode as Tanuki has suggested.

After that, I'll try creating a fresh account so as not to get my main account banned.

Things are looking up!

P.S. The settings I used in each tab were: Common: Checked Us Windowed Mode, Height=1280, Width=1024 (instructions said these are reversed due to the badly translated UI); Window Mode: Directx1-7=checked, rest unchecked; Foreground Control and Direct Input as is (nothing checked).

---

Update:
It created a 1280x1024 native sized window on my desktop, but still scaled an 800x600 within that window up to 1280x1024. So it's not native at all :(; trying different settings.
