You have to run these games in DOSBox. Vista has issues with full screen DOS applications and you cannot run most DOS applications in a window. DOSBox allows you to run them full screen and windowed. It also addresses problems with the audio. If you don't have DOSBox installed in %ProgramFiles%\DOSBox folder, allow the installer to download and install it for you.

Not Program Files\DOSBox-0.73, but Program Files\DOSBox. Let the installer do it for you.
