Is there a way to make my computer have an environment like from 1993? I'd love to see how fast it is with that kind of software
You could run VMWare Server and load up some emulation of Windows 3.1.

Of course general purpose computers are going to have problems, they are run by large, complicated operating systems made to run hundreds of pieces of hardware in thousands of different configurations with many different software. Vista has like over 50 million lines of code.
