I also wanted to know what merc from Act 2 should I get. It has been awhile but I believe might is pretty good for a summoner necro right? What is the best aura merc for a summoner?
One more thing... Should I invest in a Golem or go skeletons / demons and then pump points into decrepify? I heard you talking about it and it looks like an awesome curse. From what I remember the Golem isn't too good plus it takes away points from making your skeletons bad ass. I think I'd rather go for skeletons/demons and decrepify curse.

I'm still with my Act 1 Cold Arrow mercenary. Act II Normal mercenaries don't have good auras (Prayer, Defiance or Blessed Aim), so I'd rather have someone that can slow enemies down (couple that with Defiance and the enemies slow down to almost nothing). Nightmare Act II mercenaries are the ones you should be looking into for Summonecros.
Personally I invest a point in Clay Golem and Golem Mastery but only to get Summon Resist. I rarely, if ever, use golems. I'm pumping everything into my skeletons. Decrepify is the curse to go, it slows enemies, cuts their attack in half, makes them take double damage (like Amplify Damage) and it's all kinds of awesome. It's also extremely mana costly (11 per cast at level 1) and only lasts about 4 seconds (it gets better with level), so you'd better have a good mana pool by the time you start using it more often.
As for your Win 7 problems, have you tried running the game in compatibility mode and under Win 95/98 mode? I'm running in those modes and I've had no problems whatsoever with DII.

Tried and didn't work. I found a forum about the same problem but the last post didn't even help me... http://www.diablo2.com/forum/cinematic-trouble-when-t19043p2.html
Not a big issue considering I can still play the game fine. I could try to reinstall it later but for now I'll just not worry about the videos..
Ah, I forgot you don't get the good auras from the mercs till later difficulties. If I remember correctly one of them gives concentration which is pretty bad ass. There are also a few other good ones. I need to stop talking about auras or I might have to make a pally.
