It states, in the relaese notes (That I'm sure you read) that downgrade is
not supported directly, and that you should do a backup before you upgrade.
Yes, they made changes to, I believe, the media database.

After deciding that Networker 7.3 is fubar beyond belief, we decided to 
downgrade to 7.2.1 again. However, 7.2.1 (the security patched version) 
now crashes on startup while checking indexes. Is it possible that 7.3 has

done something with the indexes that makes us get stuck with a horrible 
and f**ked product that is probably beyond repair?

This is how it looks when starting it:
