Can someone help with a Vista issue?

I am having a problem. I have downloaded a game and Windows Vista will not allow me to play it because of the Parental Controls. I find it funny because the game is Family Feud. I can play every other game I have except for this one. I have gone in to change the parental controls but it tells me the Administrator does not need parental controls. I am logged in as Administrator but I cannot change this setting...or preferably turn it off. I do not have kids so no need to have parental controls on it anyway. Please help! Thanks.

Update:

AH! I didn't realize it was not compatible. I had looked at the realarcade.com site. That is where I downloaded it from. Thanks for the info, and I will try to see if I can run windows under a different version. I think there is a way to do it, I may have even read how somewhere. Thanks guys! Both are great answers!

    It's possible that it's not Vista compatible. Your going to have to check with the manufacturer. I see a few versions of that game on the net that says it will not run on Vista.

    I removed Vista from my computer months ago, but I thought a feature was you can run programs in specific enviornments. IE Windows 2000-XP simulators in the Vista platform. Not a clue what version of Vista or if thats a free feature or a plugin, but that may help if its not compatable w/Vista
