Airport tycoon 3 had been designed for Windows XP. As many similar programs it will not work on Windows Vista and Windows 7, not even in compatibility mode.
Try downloading and installing the patch available at this link.
I report the instructions on how to install the patch from Global Star website: Follow the steps below to properly install the New Airport Tycoon 3 Patch. Don't forget to make sure that Airport Tycoon 3 is fully installed in your PC prior to installing the patch. Step 1. Download the patch onto your PC desktop or hard drive by clicking the downloadable link. Step 2. Once download is complete double click the AT3 'Setup Launcher' icon from your desktop or hard-drive and follow the on-screen instructions. (NOTE: Make sure your original Airport Tycoon 3 CD is in your CD ROM drive.) Step 3. Once installed, Start-up your Airport Tycoon 3 Game. (You may need to re-start your computer.) This patch fixes a number of the issues that were brought up with Tech Support and the Global Star Software. If the patch does not work, then there is nothing to do. This software is not Vista compatible, and compatibility mode will allow you only to run basic software packages for Windows XP on Vista. Regards.
As far as I know the patch works only on the full version, not on the demo.
Regarding Oil Tycoon games, they had been designed by a different software house, called Soft Enterprise. Here Soft Enterprise games list.
Generally it is better to look and install games that are designed for Vista. Games use a lot of graphics and need to get direct access to system resource. For this reason most of the game programs do not work in compatibility mode.Hi.

As I told you in my last comment the patch was built to apply to the full version of the game.
The code of the demo is very different from the full version one.
