    1.) Go into c:\program files\diablo II\ or wherever you have the game installed.

    2.) Right click on "game.exe" and go to properties.

    3.) Click on "Compatibility" tab

    4.) Place a check in the box that says "Disable Desktop Composition"

    5.) Click Apply. Click Ok.

    6.) Run the game! It should load and play normally once this option is checked.
    Something like that?

    I can run Diablo 2 on Vista myself. Only thing I had to do was run it as Admin.

    my g/f runs Diablo 2 fine on her Vista PC.

    Do you have 2 or more cores? If you do, you might be have to disable the extra cores for the game. Cntl-Alt-Del and set D2.exe to run with only 1 core ( Set Affinity - uncheck all but 1 core {this is how you do it in XP, unsure how you would do this in Vista}).

    If that's not your problem then I'm sorry but I can't help >.>
