I'm on Frame 8, which is only slightly newer than Carrie (who originally asked the question, and is on Frame 7), and am using it with no problems* on Windows 7, 64-bit. *once I got it fully patched, as the re-install was from the original Frame 8 disk (I went from an XP machine to new Win 7 machine). Note: if you are moving to a new machine, and re-installing the same software, on your old machine, open Frame, and deactivate it before installing it on your new machine (Help>Deactivate).
Sorry, I have no tips or tricks about what other software runs on Win 7 vs XP, just figured I'd chime in about using an older version of Frame on Win 7.
