How did you install those games? Did you try compatibility mode?

He's talking about the MSN Zone games that usually come pre-installin in
Windows XP OEM versions.

http://zone.msn.com is Microsoft's online gaming area, you can probably
purchase the games there, since they came with your old system they may not
be transferable to your new system. Licensing is a bitch.

I would just sign up for a Windows Live Account and then play the games
directly there. They also removed the games possibly due to a security
issue.
