My game keeps freezing!!!!

[wrelax]

Hey. Ever since i bought that damn dvd player and decoder i've had more problems then ever before. So i reformatted and installed everything back very very cautiously. I got ever single available update from windows and only installed drivers that are the most recent from the sites. I thought the problems were fromt he fact that i had more than 1 driver for the decoder. So this time i installed the win2k drivers from the utobia site and all was going well. Everything was fresh, clean, and even the error things were gone and dvd worked flawlessly. HOWEVER. i just got into d2, lvl 40 sorce if u care. but whenever i play it it just freezes my screen up and i gotta restart. this has happened every single time and i am like going CRAZY. my friends want to play w/ me and everyhting but i can't even play. i am not too sure as to what the problem is. please help. When i play counter strike it is fine, but maybe thats because it doesn't need the cd. D2 does need cd. i tried using the cd both in the dvd drive and my second cd-rom drive. BOTH FREEZE. GGRRRR HELP
