Use Compatibility Mode. Do a little research (search this newsgroup by the
name of the game, for instance) and take a look at the information in Help
and Support. Some programs need Compatibility Mode starting with the
installation, others after you've installed them. Also take a look at this
information on Microsoft's TechNet:
