I recently upgraded to a Windows 7-64 bit HP machine due to the demise of my Windows XP Pro laptop. The biggest problem I had was going from a physical RS232 serial port on the laptop to a USB to RS232 converter. I tried several failures before I hit on a solution that worked. It is a USB/RS232 converter with an FTDI chipset and current drivers for it in Windwos 7-64 bit. Try as I might I couldn't make a converter with the Prolific chipset work. Note that Elecraft have gone to a KUSB with the FTDI chipset. You didn't give many details of your friend's problems but I'd bet the above is part of it.
