Install problem

Got it fixed, just changed the resolution

Howdy folks. I've been wanting to play D2 recently, and when I tried to launch the game about two weeks ago, I got an error message saying that it could not find any valid video modes. I posted this and Thyiad tried to help me, but I was unable to find a solution, and I was hoping maybe someone had the same issue, and a way to correct it. I am using a newer PC, ATI Radeon HD 5570 card, Windows 7, DirectX 11...the odd thing is that I ran the game on this computer previously, so I don't know when the problem occurred. Any help would be greatly appreciated I have attached the error message from the log, to see if that makes sense.

OK...I just installed the glide3x.dll, which moved me along a little, now I can run the game, but as soon as it starts, it freezes up, forcing a C+a+d to end task...doing some more research, tnx for reading |||Glad you have it some what running.

You try windowed mode? It's the only way I can get it to work 90% of the time.|||No it runs unwindowed, it plays the game in a 4.3 aspect ratio instead of widescreen, but I can live with that. And thanks
