    Help Me Please

    It all started recently when I installed Baldur's Gate.
    I played it and thought it was brilliant, But then one day I tied to play it and an error meassage came up about Direct Draw
    (Could'nt initialise or somethinglike that).... well I uninstalled it and even after many attempts and it still didn't work.

    I gave up on B.G. anyway and Installed Diablo 2,
    Did the video test,
    And again another problem with Direct Draw. I dont get it I have Direct X 8 , an NVIDIA GeForce 2 GTS video card with up-to-date drivers and Version 1.01 of Diablo. I dont even know what the hell Direct Draw is anyway. There is no techical support section in the readme to help me.

    Below is a picture of the error message I get.
