Are you using an Nvidia video card? Post your computer specs here so we can help you better. Download this program (http://www.opentechsupport.net/downloads/utilities/mypcinfo.exe) if you don't know what your system specs are.
I once had sporadic freeze-ups in D2, and I eventually solved it by changing my video card. Maybe yours is the same, or it may be different. Post your specs and we will see we can attack this problem.
Processor: Pentium II ~271MHz
Video Card: Diamond Viper V770/Viper V770 Ultra

Try out the NVidia 5.22 drivers. They seem to have the best track rcord for Diablo 2 in performance and stability with TNT(2) cards.
5.22 Driver (http://zoiah.m3dzone.com/files/detonator/W9x/W9x-522.zip) - Windows 95,98.
You might also check for a BIOS update for our card at Diamonds site. www.diamondmm.com (http://www.diamondmm.com)

maybe i'm too late with my reply, but i have a tnt2 card too and D2 was often freezing too. I fixed it by dling new drivers. Take a look at Blizzard site, in the diablo section, in the technical support area.
Gook luck!
