Running exe built in VC++ on XP and WIN7

sprintf_s(cmd, "%c:\index.exe", driver);

I am trying to run a flash file, the application is built in VS 2008 , on win 7. The application works well on WIN7 but fails in XP. Ie t开发者_开发知识库he application launches but doesn't complete the task. I see the application running in Task Manager
