Might and Magic VI, VII, VIII-won't play

I have an older 2.4 GHz processor, but these games are old. I've played Might and Magic VI on Windows Vista at my girlfriend's place, but I have Windows XP. Heroes of Might and Magic III from the same company plays. I installed each one in order and they would not play when I put the play disc in. I tested playing a DVD and another game called Vampire Bloodlines which is far more intensive then the Might and Magic games.

My C drive is a little over full. I ran a compression on it in the past and I wonder if that is an issue. After many tries I finally got a Shrinker.err message from Might and Magic VI something like it couldn't find MSS Dll32 or something like that. I tried running each game in compatibility mode for Win 95, 98, NT, and 2000. None of them worked.
 
Just trying to bump this up for one more try. I'm having the problem on a second computer now. MM6 played on Vista, but MM7 and MM8 won't play in compatibility mode or in administrator mode. I tried each windows compatibility type.
