you may realise that Diablo 2 will not run by default on windows vista, i had same problum. Here's how to get around this.

1.) Go into c:\program files\diablo II\ or wherever you have the game installed.

2.) Right click on "game.exe" and go to properties.

3.) Click on "Compatibility" tab

4.) Place a check in the box that says "Disable Desktop Composition"

5.) Click Apply. Click Ok.

6.) Run the game! It should load and play normally once this option is checked.

thats how you play 8-16 bit games on anything higher than XP, except, you change compatability mode on the game.exe file.
