Last week I purchased windows vista ultimate upgrading my current system from
windows vista home premium. After installation my hard drive stayed the same
size and all my files were in the windows.old file. I could understandably
move all my files and documents but my programs and files are no longer
installed on my computer. Some of my programs will not operate anymore and I
need help moving my programs and files permanently without having to
reinstall every program.

I'm sorry but you will need to reinstall the programs. It's the only way to
get the correct references into the registry.

Malke is right. If you had programs that needed to be activated they wouldnt
be activated anymore. You may be able to copy to files from some programs.
Theres a chance it might not work. Some files may be in other directories.
You can try but none of can say they will work.
