    old Windows games on modern architecture...

    im trying to run PBA bowling 2 and PBA 2001 for Windows. At first I thought it was an operating system issue so I partitioned my hard drive and installed XP on it. I was still encountering the same graphical glitches that I did running Windows 7. I even tried a different video card but there is no change. I know about DOS box and since this is an early XP game I even tried virtual XP first but that did not help either.

    Are these games just incompatible the newer architecture and not just the operating system?

    Since you can run emulators for old console games, might be an issue with the game itself.

    You can also try using the Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit. I don't know the specific settings you need, but there is no doubt, with a little Googling, that you will find someone who has figured them out.
