Hi there, I am a new user of diablo II and I cannot play this game, in
fact.The problem is that after i installed the game it wouldn't start at
all. I have a deskop PC with a 233 Intel pentium inside,64 Mb ram, video
card (S3 trio) wich supports direct draw only.After I have read the game
requirements I thought it would be ok, but not. So I have installed the
game, not the full version, then I inserted the play Cd and I wanted to
start the game but...the screen turned into black and the PC didn't want to
respond to any commands.Can you give me a piece of advice please?Thank you!

If Diablo 2 runs on that system it's going to run poorly. I'm not sure
your system will meet minimum spec but it might, but D2 gets pretty
choppy when a lot of stuff is going on even on a 850mhz PC.

What do you mean "not the full version?"

There may be a way to force Diablo II to go into software rendering only
(not using Direct 3D), but I don't know off the top of my head how to
force it to do this. I suggest using Google and search for "daiablo 2
software rendering" and see if it turns up any clues.

Also I suggest you patch up to the latest patch, you can do this even if
the game isn't running by downloading the patch as a standalone file and
then patching it.
