Have never had an issue with 64 bit Windows 7.. strange that you are having software troubles. 32 bit software works fine on 64 bit OS. The only problem you will run into with Win7 x64 is trying to install "unsigned" drivers (3rd party most of the time) which you really won't run into if you are a casual user.
