Getting old Windows XP games to work on Windows Vista can be a bit tricky. Sometimes they'll run smoothly, but other times you might face issues. One thing you can try is running the game in compatibility mode for an older version of Windows.

Nearly all games work on XP and Vista. For games that do not, try each of these steps in order until your game works: * Right click on the game's .exe or shortcut. Select properties. Select the Compatibiliy tab. Under Compatibility mode, select run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows XP. If that does not work... * Under the same compatibility tab, select run this program as an administrator. If that does not work... * Visit the game's website and update your game to the latest version If that does not work... * Search Google with " vista problem" and check to see if there are any solutions. If that does not work...you're out of luck! You most likely won't be able to get it working.
No. It won't work on XP SP2 or anything higher. It will work with XP SP1 however.
Almost all games being released still support Windows XP.
Yes, it runs if you set it to XP compadibility mode.
You can play Curse of Monkey Island using ScummVM (www.scummvm.org). It also allows you to run many of other games based on the SCUMM engine (monkey island 1 & 2, maniac mansion, day of the tentacle, Indiana Jones, etc...) I've tested it on Windows XP, Vista, 7 and Ubuntu and works like a charm.
