I use Doom2.exe quite often in XP, but only to test that demos recorded with PrBoom play back correctly with it. I bring up a command prompt and put in a command line such as:
doom2 -file rw.wad -playdemo rw06-059
Note:
1) No need for paths - everything should be in your Doom2 folder.
2) Do not put a ".lmp" extension after the demo name.
3) I chose "no sound" when setting up Doom2.exe. If you didn't do this, then you need to add "-nosound" in the command line.
For simply watching Doom2.exe demos, PrBoom/GLBoom certainly has the best compatibility, and the nicest graphics options. Eternity is also worth trying though. Demos are a bit less likely to play back OK, but the compatibility is pretty good, and you have the additional options of chasecam and walkcam - that way you can see what was going on out of the player's sight.
