One issue (not really important), is that the user which uses windows 8 or windows 10 will be prompted to install directplay, but this is easy and quick to do, (Windows guides the user).
Apart from that, there has been a report of a problem in fullscreen mode : apparently if you don't use one of the available resolutions, some part of the graphics window may be hidden (out of the screen), (you can get the available resolutions for fullscreen mode with this : http://www.blitzbasic.com/codearcs/codearcs.php?code=3229 )
To me, it seems safer to publish a game in windowed mode with a resolution equal or smaller to the resolution of the desktop resolution with a borderless window (you can make a window borderless with this : http://www.blitzbasic.com/codearcs/codearcs.php?code=3212 ) (the force redraw is for windows vista and windows 7 to prevent a problem where some part of the graphics window is not redrawn properly when another window with interactable fields is put on top of the window of the game)
If you have some money you can probably hire some people to test your game on https://www.fiverr.com/categories/programming-tech/user-testing-services/#layout=auto&page=1 (5USD per test)
(and of course you can post a demo here, some people will probably test it)
Good luck,
