Argh! I have to reboot after I exit Diablo 2 in order to start the game back up without it freezing...Is this some problem with tnt2s...I thought it was the directx8 beta I installed...I guess not.

just tried a fix I saw on the Diablo2 message boards.... if you change to DirectDraw mode, the problem goes away.
 
This definitely points to a driver issue. It sucks that we can't use Direct3D, but at least we can now play normally!
