Well it works fine here under XP sp2, what I would do first is update the 
firmware on your cd drive, and try compatibility mode.  Also, try disabling 
the Cryptographic Service using msconfig.  This has fixed issues with other 
games for me.

My problem with D3  using my explorer mouse, is the lack of acceleration 
slowdown when trying to aim, i.e. I should get more precision when bringing 
the mouse to a stop, which doesn't happen, and it makes it very difficult to 
actually hit anything .
