Installing games with Vista

I am having issues installing a game on my Vista computer and when I look for
driver updates and direct X versions none of them are specific for Vista but
XP and OS before it. The game I am trying to install requires the most up to
date version of Direct X and I am wondering if there is one just for Vista
specifically. The game is Diablo 2 and I am having one hell of a time trying
to install it. Everytime I think it is installed the PC restarts itself when
I launch the game like it is recovering from an error. I have already
contacted the company that makes the game and I am trying out certain methods
they are prescribed hoping it will work. Have any of you had any issues
trying to install any other games and can give me some advise as well. I
heard  from a friend that World of Warcraft required a patch just to work
with Vista. This just makes me wonder why it is supposed to be more user
friendly when it appears to be just a big pain to play games it should be
able to support easily and yet it won't install them properly easily.
