Try editing your D3Prefs.txt file located in My Documents\Diablo III.

Using a text editor like Notepad, change either or both of these lines if they exist.

DisplayModeWindowMode "0"
Vsync "0"

to

DisplayModeWindowMode "1"
Vsync "1"

Save the file and try the game again now.

Blueflammie,

Are you trying to use an HDTV as a monitor by any chance? This sort of issue should not happen with a regular monitor made for computers, but refresh issues that come into play with various HDTVs can necessitate using the options I gave to get around them.
