There is a hotfix in the thread below, and a beta driver for the Nvidia
GeForce 6150 SE. I installed these, and it helped- a little.

The video test for Diablo 2 took my daughter's new Vista laptop down hard-
blue screen of death, had to pull the battery to do a cold boot. Downloaded
a new video driver from Acer, and the program installed, but graphics are too
buggy to play the game.

Bringing this one back from the dead.. I had the same issue with Diabl
2 when I installed it a few days ago on my Vista Home Premium x6
system.

Tried compatibility mode on and off, but what got it to work was b
running the Video test that is available in the start menu -> Diablo
menu.

Just thought Id throw that out there in case anyone has been stil
having this same problem

One other solution, that does not require the use of compatibility mode
settings, in to install the game into some folder other than "C:\Program
Files (x86)" or "C:\Program Files". When I install any games, new or
old, onto my system (Vista Ultimate x64), I always use a custom folder
like "C:\Games" as the root for the installation.

Diablo 2 works like a charm, and does not require any compatibility
mode settings. And this may come as a shock to most, but the same can be
said about Diablo 1. I re-installed it the other day out of nostalgia,
and it worked without problems. Also with not compatibility mode
settings required.

That being said, I always install my games into c:\Games\* - perhaps wh
i didnt run into all of the other issues on vista
