Are you able to use System Restore to a time and date prior to the occurrence
of the problem?

System Restore would not affect any files or data that you created. It only
puts back the system itself. But if you installed any new applications, these
would probably have to be reinstalled, and if the restoration date is prior
to any Windows updates, these would have to be downloaded a second time. If
you try it let us know how you get on.

The Vista Sound Recorder exe file should still be on your computer.
Running the Xp version would not have deleted the Vista file.
