How to Change Screen Resolution in "Diablo 2"

"Diablo 2" is an adventure role playing game for the computer that features a single player mode and a multiplayer online component. The original "Diablo 2" does not offer you a way to change your screen resolution. However, if you have the expansion add-on, "Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction," you will have a choice to change your resolution between 640x480 or 800x600 mode. You can also download and install player-created modifications that allow you to play "Diablo 2" at a higher resolution than the included 800x600 mode.
