The movies, the intro, it all moves as if it overdosed on Speed. How do I slow it down?

What happens if you run the games in compatiability mode?

compatibility mode is the only way to get it to work so yes, it's set for 98/ME. My problem is it works too fast.

Besides the Compatiblity Wizard in WinXP, there's also quite "in depth" tweaking utility for some really stubborn old software, called "QFixApp"....which is on the WinXP cd under some extras folder. You can spend months using this utility to play with many deep tweaks to software.

Type in qfixapp in Google.com and you'll get many hits on using it.

There's also various "slow motion"..."slo mo"...software out there.
