Right click on the game launcher icon and choose "run in administrator" mode. It works for games that support only dx9 in a dx10 os such as vista.
Oh, and welcome to the forums

Most Vista issues are either due to that intrusive User Account Control or not setting administrator privileges.

Probably the administrator thing. I can run DII in Vista. However, I did disable the User Account. What was MS thinking when they created that abomination? Me: "Let's Print." Vista before disabling User Account "PING! You moved the mouse. Are you sure you want to?" Me: "Yes". "PING! You leftclicked. Are you sure this is allowed by the administrator?" Me: "Yes". "PING! You've violated user's privileges. Please contact an admin."
It bears no doubt the thing got kicked out, fast.

Both Diablo's run fine on Vista with some basic tweaks.

Start> Programs>Diablo II, right click your Diablo II file go to properties, then Compatibility and run it in compatibility mode for Windows Xp (service pack 2)
That worked for me.
