i have the same issue awhile back. i never did figure it out. i hate windows 7. such an advanced OS shouldnt have so many issues working with older software.

I had it worst
my one pc after a week when shutting down would blue screen, and reload windows. Not even restart. There was no way to turn the PC off except holding the power button but windows would act up on boot up then with the BS screen you didn't shut down properly. Trued every version of windows (ultimate) 64bit, 32 they all got that issue. I didn't even install any programs just installed base windows(after the 1st time) and let the PC sit for a week being powered up and down while letting it idle most the day.
Put XP back on and problem went away.

other pc that I used to use for video encoding would randomly reboot. sometimes it would be 5 minutes sometimes around 5-8 hours.

Never had those issues with any other version of windows. I've had a windows 2000 server running for over 395 days straight without a reboot, or power down. hell only reason it went down was we lost power for a 4 days.
My current web servers been on for 136 days non-stop without reboots, and is perfectly stable (same exact configuration as the 1st system I mentioned)

Now windows 7 beta I found worked beautiful(I was a beta tester) on the system. It was extremely stable and fast. I wish they would have just sold that before they added in all the extra crap on to it.

I'm only mad blizzard basically forced me to upgrade to XP from 2000 on my main PC due to Star Craft 2 not running on 2k [:@] I won't even try 7 on this PC I need it too much.

I am running the Castle Link software with Windows 7 and have had no problems whatsoever . The one thing you have too do is right click on the Castle Link icon after you download it and choose RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR otherwise it will not install correctly .
