Kids Diablo 2 won't start

Hello I been trying to start D2 on my PC but when I try to start I just get a black screen. It says in the manual it's from outdated drivers. I just updated still have problems. My PC specs are Win XP AMD athlon1900+ Geforce 4 MX 420 64 mb vid card. I have DirX 9.0. It also says Nvidia cards have problems running 3D accelerated mode. How do I turn that off. I just got this game today and am really wanting to play. Been trying for a while to get it to start. Please help.


DAVID

This is just a suggestion and it probably won't work, but try rolling back your directX version to 8.1, maybe the same with Nvidia drivers too....if that doesnt work than just reinstall the up to date drivers and start from square one. is there any chance it could be hardware?

I would suggest installing the latest patch from http://www.blizzard.com/diablo2/ [right side in related links] and reading the FAQ'z if you still have problems

I just fixed it. As I was installing the game it gave me two choices in picking a video mode one for direct draw 2d and direct 3d. I chose not to have it run in 3D and it worked. Game still looks good. Will installing the patch help it run in 3D? It even said that running 3D would cause problems in the manual. Do I really need it since the game is set at 640x480 screen resolution by default. Why such a low resolution. It still looks good

I have the same problem on my system (AMD 2000, Geforce Ti4200)...

It can run in DirectDraw(2d) but it's uglier then Direct 3D orcourse. I want to run it in Direct 3D also...

BTW: the resolution can easily be changed from in game to 800 x 600, wich is the highest available.
