Well after 7 years I decided it was time for new PC and went with Win 8.1 (ugh!), with the intention of updating to Win 10. I decided to give Diablo a whirl without any compatibility tweaks and see what would happen. Well, with the 1.09 patch it worked great, except alt-tabbing crashed the game. Setting the game to run in 8 bit color prevented the crash but still couldn't get back into the game display after alt-tabbing. Downloading the dx wrapper (method 4) solves the problem. Guess that's the future of Diablo unless Blizzard decides to update it and give it away on battle.net someday.
