Is it your intention to play DiabloII 1.00 or any such old patch before 1.09?
Or just DiabloII classic, but with the current patch?
If you wish to play patch 1.06 or before at 800x600, it is impossible since the increased resolution was introduced with 1.08. (*or 1.07. Saw Elric's post right after I finished writing. Not exactly clear on patch history anymore*)
The game engine simply does not support higher resolutions on any older patch.
If you did not know or have forgotten, the reason why Classic players could play at 800x600 when 1.08 was released was that an oversight in the patch which allowed non-LoD players to activate the new feature. If you have ever seen it done, you'll know that although the patch had updated the engine to support the new resolution, the GUI did not, and seams were everywhere.
The easiest way to play classic at the higher resolution is simply install LoD again, and create non-exansion characters. Otherwise, you're stuck with the not-exactly-pretty 1.08 MPQ modification.
Also, IIRC, wasn't v.1.00 unplayable on B.net due to a mistake in burning the Gold?
