You can turn off Defender, but that still doesn't turn off UAC which is a
deeper underlying security measure in Vista. UAC can be turned off in
Control Panel, User Accounts as I recall--however--I have never done this
and strongly recommend not doing it except as a testing measure.
UAC raises dialog boxes when it blocks something, so if you aren't seen
those, that probably isn't it.
(parenthetically, Microsoft now has a KB article showing how to exempt some
individual applications from UAC so that these dialogs are not presented
each time you start something. This works for some apps, but not for
others, depending on the security level requirements of the application
itself.

In Defender, tools, options, scroll all the way to the bottom using the
scroll bar, uncheck "Use Windows Defender" and click Save, and assent to the
security elevation to perform the task.
Are others able to run these games on Vista?
