Did you notice any errors / messages in the eventlog?
What does your code do? Can you add messages for the eventlog to see where your code fails?
Did you install the correct vc++ redistributable on your Vista system?
Are both systems 32/64 bits?

What exactly meant by code not working ?
As you say, exe are running did you get any error message in the 'Event Log Viewer' ?

there's many things that can cause this problem, one common prob... microsoft implemented their linux-like permissions for applications in Vista that can cause all sorts of weirdness, for example, I've had apps that aren't granted permission to open their DLLs. Try running the app as administrator and see if that fixes your issues.

p.s. yes, sort of blind suggestion since there's no details.

Try to run program on Vista in compatible mode by properties. Maybe it's OS problem...
