sica If you are not playing in windowed mode, Diablo II takes control of your screen and changes it's resolution down to 800x600 or 640x480. If you are in windowed mode, there are other things on the screen, so Diablo does not have control of your resolution. Diablo II can not scale up it's window to more than 800x600. If you want the 800x600 to take up more of your screen, then set your screen to a smaller resolution.

Right-click on your desktop shortcut and then select Properties.
Then on the first line (I think it is Target) go to the end of the text, put a space then -w. Press OK.
Now whenever you choose that shortcut it will open Diablo II in window mode.

It might be under the Shortcut tab.

What you can do is scale down the size of your screen's resolution. Instead of having your screen display 1600x 1024 (or whatever), bring it down to 1200x768 and see what it looks like.

Hi. I just started playing again. I kow this used to work for me, but now i get an error saying:

The name '"C:\Program Files\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe"-w' specified in the target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct.

Any Ideas?

EDIT: OMG. Nevermind. You have to put a space in between the last quotation mark and the -w. I feel like an idiot now.
