Vista is a 64 bit processor and your game are made to run
on 32 bit. Apples and Oranges due not mix

You may have to run your games in Compatibility mode.
Right click the shortcuts and go to properties.
Then go to Compatibility tab.
Once there change the program in compatibility mode for Windwos XP (SP2)
It may not work because of the 64-bit with the 32-bit.
Also try the forums for whatever game your trying to play
