Try a google search to check if there might be a common problem with these specific games, if you can't find anything they probably work. When I installed Vista Ultimate I could play all the games I played at WinXP out of the box. I'm curious which games you are thinking about?

I don't think that'll be a problem...

I'm still curious, what games are we talking about? Maybe I can help you out.

Of course I've had no experience with those games in Vista, but I did some google-ing and I found no newly posted threads concerning those games. This is of course no guarantee, but I'd just give it a go.
