Diablo 2 in a window problems

[Cyrus Dragonas]

I can get it in a window easy, but I'd like to max the window to my monitor extents. Any ideas?

You should be able to make a shortcut to Diablo II, and use the command -w "dimensions you want".

It only runs in 800x600. I was wondering if anyone knew how to strech the d2 window out to resize it so it fits my monitor.

You cannot stretch it that way, not unless you went into the games files and added support for higher resolutions. Sorry, but that is the only way to use a higher resolution. Diablo II was written before the times of Widescreens, and Flat Panel, so it's support options for higher displays is not there. It was written using support for a DirectX version that only supported 800x600 as a maximum resolution.
Your basically trying to take a game like Duke Nukem 3D , and make it compatible to run at 1024x768.

Lord Nevar is right. The maximum resolution is 800x600. It will take up the whole screen in full mode. But in windowed it only goes to 800x600. Sorry bud
