I have recently installed my old copy of Diablo II and the Lord of Destruction expansion on my Windows 7 machine. I am running a 512MB dedicated DirectX 11 video card and there was only the issue of the older DirectX drivers refusing to ovewrite the newer ones. I ignored the DirectX upgrade and I had a notice that reported that there were known compatibility issues with the game and Windows 7... I ignored it and played it anyway. There seems to be no problems at all.
Although, when I attempted to do this some time ago, the game would refuse to play and I was pulling my hair out trying to get it to work. I guess there must have been either an issue with the game version or a fix with a recent Windows Update. The one that works at the moment is version 1.10 of both installs.
My suggestion is this... install the game completely followed by the expansion (if you decide to) then get a hold of any of the update patches available AFTER it is all installed. DO NOT update Diablo II before installing the expansion. Whatever patch you find will update both.

Yes. However, you must make sure that the version of Halo 2 you are trying to play is the PC edition rather than the XBOX version. It should read "Halo 2 for Vista" or something similar.
