The structure of the Ghost image file does change as newer versions of Ghost are released. So, it's most probable that a Ghost 11.5 (which is probably 8 + years beyond when Ghost 2003 was released) image will have an incompatible structure that Ghost 2003 will choke on.
If you have Ghost Explorer from the Ghost 11.5 version, you can probably substitute that program (make sure it's the same name for the .exe file as used by Ghost 2003) for the Ghost 2003 Ghost Explorer. The Ghost folks usually make the most recent versions backwards compatible--so it probably can read any Ghost 2003 image files--as well as any other versions.
So, just rename the Ghost 2003 Ghost Explorer with a *.old* and place the Ghost 11.5 program with the correct name (you can change it to be the same as Ghost 2003's name--the file will still execute just fine) in the same directory as the *.old* Ghost Explorer from Ghost 2003, and then Ghost 11.5's Ghost Explorer will be called when you click the appropriate button or image file.
Of course, test everything to make sure it's working as expected--you can always remove the Ghost 11.5's file and rename the Ghost 2003 back to its original name.
If you can do the above, let us know how it works out--it helps educate us all!
