A quick Question on the world event

An even better method is to run Diablo 2 in windowed mode

I saw this and thought it was a great idea since I had worried about taping the button down, especially the possibility of pulling the button off when removing it. When I went to try it, I remembered why I don't play it windowed. :( I run my laptop at 1280x854. Running the desktop at lower resolution is not an option for at least a couple reasons. Even with the game resolution set to 800x600, the window becomes too small to play in. I'm sure I already know the answer to this, but somebody please prove me wrong - Is there any way to set the resolution to something higher than 800x600? Hmmm, now that I think about that, even a higher resolution wouldn't help. The size of the in-game items stay the same at a higher resolution since they are based on the desktop resolution when windowed. A higher resolution would only give a picture of more territory. Oh well, maybe I can get used to playing at the reduced size. It does provide other benefits such as surfing, as you mentioned.
