Download the latest patch for Diablo 2. Also try this: Open up the video test in the D2 folder, then when it pops up click skip test. You should see an option for Direct3D and DirectDraw. Switch it to DirectDraw and see if that helps.

Diablo and Diablo 2 are definitely gems in my book. Diablo 2 took most of my college free time. Unfortunately, I couldn't play Diablo because of system restrictions and once I did get a system that could play it, Diablo 2 was set to be out in a few weeks.
I sometimes get tempted to purchase the games again. Unfortunately, I think technological advances could ruin it for me. Diablo 2 – at the highest settings – will run in 1024×768. Diablo 1 probably runs at an even smaller resolution.
Despite my on-again-off-again addition to WoW, I must say Diablo is the best series out of all of Blizzard's workings.
It started out as a diablo 2 bot engine (which I used to write bots for a long long time back). Then the guy that ran the site (njaguar i think) wanted to make some money for the program, so he made it available to only people that donated money. In exchange for the money, he gave forum gold for it. That was like 6-7 years ago. It kind of grew from there into what it is now.
Check out RealmsBeyond for a community based around variant play that focuses on self-imposed challenges. http://www.garath.net/Sullla is another website full of AARs where the player solos Final Fantasy V, for instance, or runs a sub-optimal Diablo 2 build for added challenge.
You seem to see the player-game relationship as an adversarial one; I see games as a way to facilitate some fun rather than a challenge to be vanquished.
