D2DX detected that 'compatibility mode' (e.g. for Windows XP) was set for the game, but this isn't necessary for D2DX and will cause problems.
Please disable 'compatibility mode' for both 'Game.exe' and 'Diablo Il.exe'.
You have newer versions of D2DX, by Jarcho for example, anyway.
You are supposed to rename d2dx-defaults.cfg to d2dx.cfg !
Otherwise changes you do to .cfg file won't have any effect.
When running via game exe shortcut, correct parameter is -3dfx, not glide.
