I run MS on 64 bit windows 7 too, and I've never had any problems with it. I don't even have to run it in compatibility mode :-(
Seeing as you're new to MS, we can't rule out network issues (such as ISP doing weird things) either. What country are you in? If you have a friend with a laptop that runs another windows OS (XP would be great), then ask to try MS on their laptop at your house.
Other things to look at... it isn't getting killed by a firewall, anti virus software, or anything else running on the computer is it? Make sure that windows fire wall fully allows MS.
I really hope somebody else can be more helpful than me :-(
