some may work, some may not. Starcraft, for example, will work.

So there is no way to guarantee it will work.

What you can try is to change the compatibility mode of the .exe. Right click on it, Properties, Compatibility, change it to Windows XP service pack 2. I had problems running CAD programs and games on vista and most of them works if i do that.
