Diablo 2 in VMWare WS = good in Windowed, Black screen in Full Screen

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

I followed all the instructions for enabling accelerated 3-D and Diablo 2 (expansion) runs just fine in windowed mode. However, when I switch to the much prefered full screen it blacks out the screen, though the game is still running as I can hear the music progressing.

Should I reinstall D2 opting for 2-D rather than 3-D on the set-up? Is there something else?

This is for VMWare WS 6.0 build 45731 using XP Pro SP2 and DX 9c on guest. Host is running XP Pro SP2. Video card is nVidia 8800 GTX with latest drivers.

Ok, both Direct 3D AND DirectDraw (2D) black out my screen (or at least the screen in the virtual machine).
