Install order seems to make a big difference in D2. Did you install the latest directX before your video card driver? If not, try reinstalling the latest detonator driver. www.nvidia.com

The latest directX should be on your driver CD that came with your GF3. You can also get it at www.microsoft.com/directx if you need to.

Also, make sure you have ther latest VIA 4 in 1 drivers for your Apollo Pro 266 chipset. Very important usually with the latest hardware. www.viatech.com
