    OK, im running on a new Toshiba Laptop with vista home, and everytime i install Diablo2+Expansion, everything runs fine, but after about 15sec of gameplay, my screen starts glitching and game becomes super laggy, and moving becomes difficult. Anyone have anything to say that would help? thnx

    i remeber playin diablo on vista and having problems. Sadly the one you speak of, i never had... What i did was use all the compatability options in vista. Diablo would then play fine, but would have some weird colours.

    Try dropping the desktop color depth to 16bit. This happens in Starcraft alot.

    Use the 2D option as well in the setup program, it's helped out a lot of people with stability even on XP.

    What GPU do you have? Up to date drivers? Seems vague... but it could help.
