Windows 8 and RM2K3
Well, this may be a bit late, but Windows 10 just had the latest version of Yume Nikki running flawlessly. None of the frame rate problems I had are persisting.
If anyone runs Win 10 on a machine, I would suggest testing games you had an issue with.

I just want to thank those that have stayed with this topic and have offered some solutions. It's good to see the community preserving some of the older games/software.
Windows 8 and RM2K3
SaileriusWhich games have been crashing for you? I would like to test them on my machine and perhaps the other.
Link_2112Watched a few videos, but it's hard to tell with some of them if gameplay is perfectly smooth, since youtube is not reliable for such things. Really the only measure would be exact frame rate. It sounds and looks like nothing really noticeable anyway. Your drivers are probably as generic as mine, since we both have the Vision series from AMD.
Windows 8 and RM2K3
Thank you for posting this. Windows 8 is providing me a lot of difficulty as well. I have actually found that VX games run a bit slow as well, but not as poorly as RM2k and RM2k3 games.
The game I used for testing was Yume Nikki, though I've tried several others with similar results. Three computers were used, two of which run on Windows 8 and the other on Windows 7. Fraps was the measure for frame rate. I could not measure exact frame rates when in windowed mode.
Windows 8 machine #1 hovers around ~24 fps during the menu and drops down to ~11-12 when waiting at the diary. Windows 8 machine #2 (which has significantly higher specs) was at ~26 during the menu and ~11-13 when waiting by diary. Machine #3, Windows 7, smooth gameplay with no stuttering.
The MAJOR difference between Windows 7 and 8 is the Start menu, an obvious fact, but what makes the Start menu function the way it does in 8? I've gotten on this idea that perhaps Desktop Window Manager handles it, and so I've gone about trying to disable it when I run Yume Nikki. After some trial and error writing batch files and using PsTools provided from this Microsoft site, I've managed to quell DWM, but with the added effect that Yume Nikki now crashes as it loads, giving me the error "RPG Advocate is awesome." Has anybody encountered such a error before? I'll try testing more games and the other machine with the files I've written.

Link_2112What games have you played on that machine? Did you happen to use a program to capture the frame rate? I'd be interested to find out why it is you are not experiencing issues. My Windows 8 laptop is similar in specs.
