I don't think replacing the win32k.sys file from another machine is a good
idea.
Searching for instances of the win32k.sys on your system would be agood
starting point.
You may be able to roll back win32k.sys to the version included in the
service pack you've installed but that file may have been included with a
hotfix or update you've installed on your machine post SP4. You can look in
the appropriate $NTUninstallKB$ folder for which files that were replaced by
each hotfix and check version/date compared to the version/date currently on
your system.
Make sure the latest version of win32k.sys is the one that's being loaded.
