Question about d2 accelerator

[Taem]

Hi all..

I am trying to insatll Foxbat's accelerator on my wife's machine.  It's an older Gateway with a 600 AMD and a 32mb vid card.  It was pretty good six years ago.  :)

Anyway, I messed up a file (long story) and un- and re-installed the entire game and then installed the accelerator.  The problem is that after I make my adjustments in the accelerator and start the "accelerated" game, I have no NPCs in town, no merc, no monsters and no valk (although the char goes through the valk animation and the mana ball drops.

In the normal game mode, the game plays just fine and all my "friends" are around me.

I realize that Foxbat has kinda retired from D2 and that his accelerator is "unsupported" but I thought that someone here might be able to lend a hand.

Any help is, of course, greatly appreciated.

Thanks...

Mike

ps...for anyone interested, the entire gorey details are in this thread, at the Amazon Basin.

Sounds like a software compatibility issue where mulitple programs are trying to use the same function of the video driver in memory. My friend is currently having the same problem with WOW and his ATI-9800 All-In-One video card where as soon as he joins the realms, he can't see PC's and after about 1-5 minutes, his computer will freeze up. Very annoying! I'd suggest updating all your drivers and checking for firmware updates to your video card and bios and seeing if that solves your problem. If that dosen't help, then theres a small chance it's a registry problem, but I'd be surprised if your complete reinstall didn't reset these values.
