Help with this problem please...

[dburk]

Hello...
I have a new laptop from HP...so far I really like it, but I'm having a problem with diablo...when running the game in full sreen mode, I'm only getting around 40 fps, and it drops down to 1-5 every once in awhile...when I run the game in windowed mode, I am getting around 150fps...without a drop at all...however, when in windowed mode, the window only takes up half of my screen, and I would like to make it bigger...
I have a 17" screen, and I was wondering if the 1440x900 dimensions (not being the same ratio as 800x600) and "stretching" the game is to blame...I just needed some suggestions as to how to make the window bigger or how to up my fps in full screen mode...my system should be running frame rates much higher than 40 with a lag...I have downloaded the latest drivers for the geforce card...no help...sorry for the novel, but I am trying to be as descriptive as possible so I can get some help...here are the specs for the laptop...thanks in advance...I will be glad to answer any questions that would help...

hp dimension 9000
intel core 2 duo...1.73 mega hertz or so...
2 gig ram
nvidia geforce go 7600...256 ram on it...

As soon as I discovered windowed mode I never went back. You can increase the size of the window by lowering your screen resolution. I think the fullscreen problem is because diablo doesn't cope well with newest modern tech. You could try to find very old drivers for your gfx card but I wouldnt bother, just stick with window :wink3:

Do you run the game in 3d-mode? Many new cards are not supported by the old 3d-mode that Diablo2 uses. (Remember, the game is getting old now. Today's technology wasn't even planned then)
Switch to 2d, and it will most likely work.

I have a laptop that is pretty much the same as you have, and it works for me.

2 gig ram
nvidia geforce go 7600...256 ram on it...You could always try older drivers, but I'm not sure if it will help.

Though can you tell me how I can check my own FPS?
