Is the game on Direct3D or DirectDraw? Game runs alot better if you use DirectDraw. It doesn't look that ugly either heh :p

ur pc must fail hard if it cant play a 2d game, try re-installing?

id look at upgrading ram and that celeron doesnt help either,the older cellys were rather poor to say the least.

really u need a better PC in general as u may be playing a 10 yr old game but your doing so on a 5+ year old PC.
As a minimum to run even older games well ud need something like a P4/AMD 64 ,1gb ram and a more recent gfx card.

D2 ran fine on a ATi rage/old Celeron and TNT2/P4 1.6ghz for me I dont see why he cant run it.

Ongaku Aug 5, 2008 04:33 PM

It should run fine really, I had it running on my old laptop with a Celeron 2.4GHz...

Like I said turn it to DirectDraw and see how it runs. Run the video test that's in the Diablo II folder.
