Greetings.

I've got some problems with my old 380xd.

When playing Diablo II in Directdraw mode, it just freezes after
some time of play. The music then loops.

I am a fairly techie on the game myself,
and am 99% sure that it's not a problem with it.

It has also happened in Win98 twice. I just clicked an icon, the machine
locked up, and the sound looped (the click sound was being repeated)
(Got the machine 3 weeks ago - formatted immediately )

I've got the newest drivers for everything, tried both with Directx7
and Directx8 to no avail.

I've also tried lowering hardware acceleration, didn't help either.

My screen is just set to 1024x768 able Laptop screen.
Can this be it? What is the correct setting, if this is not?

TIA for all answers,
Pelle Zbigniew Frederiksen,
Melbourne.
