I cannot get my disney kids games to work. For example, winnie the pooh
preschool will install fine but when I go to run the program, my computer
attempts to but then simply stops and goes back to the desktop.

Hi David,
 
Most of the "older" games will run perfectly well on Windows XP, David.
Some need to use Compatibility Mode (details are in Help and Support), and
this TechNet article will help you:

Basically, what Compatibility Mode does is allow the older program to
"think" it is being installed on the operating system for which it was
designed. You also need to pay attention to the game's requirements, and
some need to be installed using Compatibility starting with the installation
itself by going to Start/Run/Browse and locating the install.exe or
setup.exe file on the root of the CD. You can right-click that file, follow
the pattern to use Compatibility Mode and have it install.

After the install, make sure to update the program from the web site of the
creator, then right-click the icon you'll use to launch the game and make
sure the proper Compatibility settings are ready. You also need to make
sure the proper display and color settings are selected.
