I have DoomII and would like to play it on XP home.
Any suggestions? Thanks, Maddog

Try using a differnet engine with the WAD file.

Examples:
PrBoom -- http://prboom.sourceforge.net/
ZDoomGL -- http://zdoomgl.mancubus.net/
Doom3D -- http://www.doomworld.com/doom3d/
WinDooM -- http://www.doomworld.com/doom4win/

or others:

Have fun ;-)

Actually, download DOOM Legacy, it runs in OpenGL, and has lots of nifty 
features as well.

yeah, this was my favorite Doom sourceport for a long time, unfortunately
the development of the new version takes way too long now, so i shifted to
the new ZdoomGL now.

however, it is still a good choice.
but you should process your wads with ZenNode before you play them in Doom
Legacy,
or else you might get a lot of rendering errors and holes in walls:
