Alt + enter might help to change games mode, could help if you haven't tried yet maybe.

Did you try compatibility mode?

Edit: sorry didn’t read

If you are having these issues:

Cannot launch Diablo II, I receive a critical error: error 25
Error: "A critical error has occurred while initializing Direct3D."

To resolve this error, you can:

Run the game on Windowed Mode
  • Right-click the Diablo II icon and click Properties
  • Click the Shortcut tab
  • Add -w to the end of the Target. For example: "C:\DiabloII\Diablo II.exe" -w

Run the game in Administrator Mode

Please feel free to send me a private message if you have any questions.

Did some digging. If all else fails

-w -nofixaspect typing this in the taget that archive suggested.
This will allow you maximize the window screen. It isn't 100% what you are looking for however maybe it will suffice.
