Can't run any DOS games

I've tried several DOS games and they all lock up Vista and I have to turn
off the computer. A few gave a blue screen, memory dump etc., others just
lock up.

Are DOS games no longer supported? These all worked fine under XP. I've
tried setting the compatibility mode, but that didn't help.

Or (since all these games run at 320x200) does Vista no longer allow such
low resolutions even for games? This mode isn't listed in the List All Modes
- List of valid modes, but 320x200 works fine under XP.
