You will not get 3.22 to recognize MyISAM format tables.
You need to either:
1. Upgrade your server to 3.23
or
2. Find a running 3.23 server, copy your table files to that server, ALTER
TABLE xxx TYPE=ISAM; on all your tables to convert back to older ISAM
format, and copy your table files back.
Of course, option 1 is prefered.

Subject: mySQL database files help
