It's difficult to tell what the problem with D2 is from that error msg, but since the splash screen is still showing it looks like there is something wrong with the intialization. I would check (and replace from the Game folder on the CD) the game file specially the RES files, and also check the MCM2/Dillo Registry entries.

Is the object in the Dillo SS a stock or custom object? If it's stock it looks a lot like the RES files are messed up, if it's custom then hmm looks like you might have some file damage.

Have you tried other 3D progs? Do they do the same thing? Which OS are you using?

Well since you did a reformat you may need to reinstall your drivers for your chipset. Via or Nvidia. Depending on what you have.

Also update any other drivers, sound card, printers, scanners, usb, agp,  etc

This may help, I had a problem like this before and it was my chipset drivers.

Hope it helps,

Do the stock trees look ok?

Can you maybe post the SLT from one of the custom objects thats messed up? Do the textures load ok into PS/PSP?

It's possible that the virus wrote to the files - a long shot i know and you can probably see yourself if anything is wrong with the SLTs but i'd still like to take a look.
