Well Diablo 2 Has issues... Warcraft 3 works fine so far... Quake 2 i got it to work Sort of(Small box shape of the game screen in the middle of a black background)... Anyone have any suggestions for running Diablo 2 Lod without the Rainbow colors?

 

@IllegalPaladin

Yea I got those same problems. The HUGE black screen.

Yea, I'm using an older driver that still has the stretching feature. I guess there might have been something wrong with it and they took it out of the driver to work on it. I don't know if it's being included again or not.

Otherwise, I believe the driver update I'm using on Windows 7 (x64 version) is 182.50.

IllegalPaladin, I assume you have an NVIDIA card since you stated that the driver version is 182.50. Try looking on their website. There's beta drivers for the notebooks (195.55 driver; I haven't any issues using it besides not being able to turn up or down the screen brightness), and a 196 driver for desktops.

I REALLY want to play the Sonic CD game I had from Windows 98, though. That game owns. It's not able to run fully because the installation files aren't compatible with the new hardware/OS (Windows 7). It's been like that since I got my first laptop that ran Windows XP.

Yes, I said that in my first post in the thread lol. Also, I said that I was using this older one because apparently they took out the stretching in the latest firmware I had at the time (whatever it was a few months ago) and through finally finding a forum thread that had people talking about the issue, I finally found a link to an older driver that did have stretching.
