I've been trying to play DIablo 1 on windows xp for like a year now and personally I can't find a patch to make it work on windows xp anywhere, believe me I've looked. Anybody know where I can find one at? Send me an e-mail (
clownzero@hotmail.com) or reply here or even call me at home(not really). I'd really appreaciate the assistance. There will be punch and pie.

I played Diablo I on Windows XP a couple months ago without any problem, so I am not sure your problem is caused by Windows XP. Did you check Blizzard's website for a troubleshooting guide?

Sounds more like a corrupted copy of the game than XP

What worked for me....
Hey, I've been having the same problem, Diablo I not working on XP, even setting compatability modes, all that did was make it ask for the Diablo CD, grrrrr. It took me a while, but I finally found a solution to playing the game
and now without further adew(however it's spelled)
right click on your desktop to get into your display properties
click on the settings tab, and click on the advanced button
in the new window, click on the troubleshoot tab
now, move the slider for Hardware Acceleration down, one setting
click all the Ok buttons to get out of it, then try running diablo...
if it doesn't work, go back in and take the slider down another notch, keep doing that until it works....
I'm finally able to enjoy Diablo I again, and on XP, no less.... this worked for me, hope it works for you as well
