Diablo loading hang

[Robert Laverick]

ok, it's probably that you've got it set to use Direct 3D, you need to run 
D2VidTst.exe, and hit skip test to change to DirectDraw... Other than that 
I'm not to sure other than that I find that using DGA is more trouble than 
it's worth...
just out of interest are you using a No CD hack? cos I'm looking to get it 
working without....
