Diablo2 question

[xtreme2k]

how to make it brighter when running in a windowed mode in win2k

bright in full screen
but pretty dark in windowed mode

using a geforce2
any ideas?

I noticed the same thing but can't find a good solution. You can always turn up the brightness on your monitor.

 

[xtreme2k]

yep thatz the only thing i could do now
or play in full screen mode

 

[xtreme2k]

could it be a win2k problem?

I'm playing in ME so I guess not.

Can you change that stuff in the video card display properties in windows?

 

[xtreme2k]

it is weird you cannot adjust the gamma in a windowed mode

 

[Dulanic]

Ues it is a Win2K/NVidia related problem. Im not sure about other cards... probably because noone else uses different cards in Win2K since the rest run like crap.

How do you run D2 windowed in Win2K?

Anyone?

i have seen the same darker images in the window under me, have yet to see a cure other then monitor brightness.

To run Diablo2 in a windowed mode

make a shortcut to diablo II.exe with a -w command

eg

"F:\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe" -w

Why would you want to run D2 in a window instead of full screen?

 

[xtreme2k]

hehe you might be running a few cheat programs and getting sick of alt-tabbing

then you would run D2 in a windowed

 

[TSDible]

I don't cheat... Actually... I almost always play on the realms.

I wanted to window it so I can keep a tv window open where i can see it to watch my favorite shows or keep up with the election.

Windowed mode is good for those of us with big (19"+) monitors. D2 looks all pixelated at 640x480 full screen, but is better in a window IMO.
