Hi!
I have seven 64 ultimate and vista 64 ultimate on the same computer on 2 partitions.How can I execute programs installed under vista from seven? (I can't use vista anylonger because of a BSOD due to a win32k.sys error)
 
Solution
I don't think that's possible. Most programs write configuration settings and such to the windows registry. These would exist in your vista registry, but not in your win7 registry. The best option is to reinstall under win7.

You can try replacing the file on the vista partition that is causing the BSOD, or I think your best bet is to just re-install the programs under windows 7 and ditch your vista partition. Im not entirely sure what the advantage is of having both 7 and vista
