SVGA - VESA modes in DOS games

Hello people, I've just tested some DOS games under WINXP, sound and music is working (yay !) and the games are running fine in 320x200 but if I try running them in SVGA - VESA modes (640x480 or 800x600) the games go back to the desktop.

Hello people,

I was wondering if anyone has managed to make some games to work on higher resolutions
