Did you create a drive image prior to the install ?

If so go back and run the Games from Windows 7 in XP Compatibility mode.

If not use Symantec Partition Magic to create two partitions and operate a dual boot system where you use Windows 7 for most things like the internet and Windows XP for games I also suggest that you use GameXP to optimize XP for Gaming
