when i upgraded to windows 8.1 some of the games that i could run on windows 7 dont work on windows 8.1. i think that the issue is some .dll files are not compatible with windows 8.1 but im not sure any help would be appreciated.

Try to find more recent versions, failing that install them in compatibility mode. Some will work and others will not.

Those missing .dll files may be from DirectX, you can download and install Dx 9, don't worry it will not replace or ruin DX 11 but may ad some stuff. Updating GPU drivers may help too.
