I was using widows 7 SP1 since a year.A week before I installed WIN 8RP from Digit DVD. After installation, I found that I am unable to access the programs that i was using in win7. how to access win 7 programs in win8 ?.

And after all if I wish to uninstall win8 RP and return to win7 SP1 same as before installing win 8 RP, how to do that..?

Please help..

Try a tool called EasyBCD, it will allow dual boot.

@op
YOUR PLANS MAY FAIL, BUT DON'T FAIL TO PLAN...

May be you should have had a better look at your own signature before you planned to install windows 8. :)

Still elaborate the details and we may be able to help you exactly

Experienced the same problem. Tried W8 as a demo, but cant revert back to W7.
Ended up in installing W7 again!

There's no rollback. After all, its OS. :(
