Hello artylor, and welcome to Seven Forums.
I'm afraid that you can only have one or the other Windows installed at the same time unless you have a different product key to activate with.
Windows 10 is using your Windows 7 key to be activated, so if you reinstall and activate Windows 7 with the same key while Windows 10 is still installed and activated, both will eventually be deactivated.
Since this is a program issue, you might see if running that program in compatibility mode with Windows 7 selected may help.
