I have a Win98 game "Monkey Brains" and WinXP Need for speed 2 SE.
I'm not able to run any of these on my new Vista Home Basic.
Please tell a way for it...

you can try right clicking on them and run as administrator. you need to run the install in xp compatibility mode. Right click on the setup file on the cd and go to properties click the compatibility tab and set it to run in xp compatibility mode. you will probably want to run as administrator also. Then launch the game as administrator. It will get almost all of the older games to run.

If you have enough old games you may just consider going into user management and turning off uac. But you may find yourself turning it back on when some newer stuff starts acting odd. Also having uac off does open you up to some malware attacks. But it sure gets rid of that annoying continue button.
