The .desktop items should show as icons on your desktop.  Double-click
them and Diablo II should start.  If you see a popup which states that
there was a serious error, then you will have to run the program from
the terminal as described in the following FAQ:

And you should post the results back here if you get < 20 lines. 
Otherwise, capture the results to a logging file:

http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-a37de3282d447376d2220d20a278ae52258551a4

and post the resultant file to a site like pastebin.com and post the URL
to the pastebin.com page here.

Please understand that we may or may not be able to assist you based
