How do you get Windows XP games to work on Windows Vista?

Nearly all games work on XP and Vista. For games that do not, try each of these steps in order until your game works: * Right click on the game's .exe or shortcut. Select properties. Select the Compatibiliy tab. Under Compatibility mode, select run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows XP. If that does not work... * Under the same compatibility tab, select run this program as an administrator. If that does not work... * Visit the game's website and update your game to the latest version If that does not work... * Search google with " vista problem" and check to see if there are any solutions. If that does not work...you're out of luck! You most likely won't be able to get it working.
