At my brother's Intel and friend's Nvidia gpu Diablo 2 screen is 4:3 with two black stripes on both sides, at my Ati Radeon card, screen is unfortunately stretched and fills whole monitor even without -nofixaspect line. There is a way to solve this problem?

Are you in windowed mode when using -nofixaspect ?
The game plays in 640 by 480 (Classic) and optionally 800 by 600 (LOD). Nothing is going to change that res. Windowed mode lets you maximize the window but it's going to have the side borders on a wide screen monitor unless you use -w and -nofixaspect, then maximize the window.

Do your drivers let you change how the game is displayed? My lame intel chipset allows me to choose true size, scaled (fixed aspect), or full screen for full screen mode. Window mode would need the command line commands you and marty mentioned.

Beside the -nofixaspect command there are two things that can cause this: the driver and the display itself.
Inside the nVidia driver under Display Size and Position one can choose which scaling methode should be used. Dunno how ATI drivers handle this cause I've never been an ATI guy.
Beside driver settings modern wide screen displays have a similar option inside their own on-screen config. You just need to identify it. For example my Samsung wide screen has an option called "Image Size" under "Size and Position" which can be set to either "Auto" or "Wide".

Problem solved. I had to change native display resolution to lower one, to unlock CCC/My Digital Flat Panel/Image Scaling/Maintain aspect ratio, then turn resolution to native again. These options are inactive by default when desktop res is set to native. Yesterday it wasn't so easy;)
