Very Old games - Very New hardware, Any Help?

[Guest]

I recently found my copy of Destruction Derby 2. As far as i know the windows
95 emulation on vista is letting me start the game, but there are some
siriously tripped out/ Stretched and unusable pictures once the starting
intro has finished. Maybe this is something to do with older hardware
rendering? I don't realy know, thanks for help. I also can't find any
Hardware Acceleration options in Vista's Control pannel, am I missing
something out?

I have an old game (Deadlock) that continuously locked up on Vista, even with
all the compatibility modes turned on. I downloaded Microsofts Application
Compatibility Toolkit and played around with it and eventually discovered a
setting that made the game run. If you get really lost, you might try that,
but be warned the toolkit is difficult to use.
