W/o the system specs it will be hard to help but I would start by looking into updating your video and audio drivers to see if that helps. I would also try to disable anything working on the background that does not need to be working when you are trying to play the game... msn, facebook, tweeter, adobe, etc, etc.

As an off the wall, long ago senior memory, the same happened to me when I tried Diablo (original) after re-installing OS as 64bit. May not be the reason but I think all was good upto that time.
