I have a 1998 Windows98-comatible re-release of D2 v1.1 that I am
planning to install on a brand new system running Windows XP.  Are
there any bugs or glitches that surface running this version of D2 on
XP?

The windows version runs fine under Windows XP, although the Dos version
will need VDMSound 2.1.0 if you want to have sound support.  The only bug
applies to fast computers where homing missiles are more accurrate than
they should be on framerates above 35 FPS.

In any case, you want to look at the D2X project, as it fixes some bugs
that makes the game extremely difficult on fast computers:
