FORMAT ???

Hi
I have come across some old progs & games that I used to use on Win XP. Since I have been using Vista (curse it) I cannot load any of these progs/games onto my computer. Does anyone know if there is ANY WAY I could try to load these and get them running or should I just throw them away.???:

Can you not run them under XP Compatability mode? Located under the Properties tag of the programmes' .exe file.

Just a thought.
