I have been having problems installing certain games and software that were
compatible with windows XP on my old computer. it installs them fine but wen
i try to run them it says its having trouble and closes them. is there any
solution to this problem?
 
Possible the file did not install correctly due to administrative priveleges
or it needs XP compatible mode.

Give these a shot:
1. Right-click the shortcut to the exectuable and select the option to run
in XP Compatible mode, or

2. Right-click the shortcut and select Run as Administrator, or

3. Uninstall the program and try installing again, but start the Setup file
by right-clicking the file and Run as Administrator.

Have you checked with the program authors to see if they will work on Vista?
