I've just installed Vista on a separate HD and am loving it so far. I've been copying shortcuts from my XP program files so I can run them in Vista without having to install them, but some programs don't work. Steam and office are 2 examples, both give errors when trying to launch their shortcuts.

Is there any way I can get round this or will I need to install the same software again? (which presumably takes up 2x disc space?)
 
Well I got the sound to work but its not running the same program as the XP version for some reason. But its from the same disk?

I am glad that I kept my Xp installed as well lol
