D2 crashing since XP SP2

[CelticHound]

Oh yeah, that reminds me.  There's a glide wrapper for d2 if you go through the Amazon Basin

Thanks, I'll give it a try. (Though at the moment, I'm purging heresy from the galaxy in the WH40K Dawn of War demo...)

What's strange about all this is that I can play on b.net for hours with no problem. (I've had very occasional crashes playing a summoner Necro, but that's been the case for as long as I can remember.) In single player, though, the exceptions/crashes are so frequent even playing a simple zeal Paladin that sometimes the char save file doesn't get a chance to update.

I don't think my hardware is that strange:

ASUS A7N8X-X motherboard (nforce 2 chipset - using the on board audio)

ATI Radeon All in Wonder 9600
