Most modern source ports eg. Doomsday and Doom Legacy are configurable to
look and play pretty much exactly like the original. Just turn off texture
filtering, movement smoothing, etc, and it should be identical, or so close
that you wouldn't notice.

There's also Doom95, which was an early port to Win95 but it works fine on
WinXP too. The only change there was the option to have higher resolutions
and run it in a window. You can download it from
http://files.filefront.com/1291752 (It comes with the shareware WAD file,
but you can use the full version Doom1 or Doom2 files with it).
