Vista - Games not working on my vista basic

Does anyone know why some games that used to run on Win XP simply don't run
on Vista Home Basic? Some examples include BigFish games such as Mystery
Case Files and Sierra's Homeworld 2.

Check with the game manufacturers website for Windows Vista
compatibility.
Do you have the latest Windows Vista drivers?

Try Compatibility Mode:
Right click the icon and click "Compatibility Mode"
