I don't know, if older windows versions have that software mechanism called "compatibility mode", too. You might ask other members here on the forum about that.

If you use windows 7, try this: install game, right-click on game icon, select "Properties", select "Compatibility"", there you can emulate the earlier windows version that you need to be able to play the game.
Dan, do you find Win7 works for most older games? Are there any you cannot get to work in Win7? Sub Command, Dangerous Waters, SH3, SH4 ?

If Win 7 is this friendly to recent/old games, I may upgrade.
