Hi Alex, you can install them games on Vista, use the compatibility mode if
they wont run normally (right click game exe and then select properties then
compatibility and set to XP)

Most XP Games will work just fine in Vista, your best bet would be to find a
website like http://www.vistareadygames.com/ to see if there are any issues
with your particular game.

Hope this helps

A lot of XP games work great with Vista. If not, you can try Compatibility
mode, or run it as administrator.
 
Thats right. For example I haven't got any problems yet ( I play old and new
games)
