64-bit windows 7, I was able to install my programs probably 3 20 I used before, why is this? Ive tried the 64-bit versions designed for windows 7 and I tried compatibility modes.

I don't really have much to say... ive got 64 bit and ive tried almost everything I can. Some examples of what I can't install that are designed to work for it: itunes, logitech g19 keyboard drivers, Alex Feinmans iso recorder. also one of my cd drives doesn't let me do anything, like install stiff from a disc or copy a cd, if theres encryption at all. my other cd drive not... Skype does not, or ventrillo. Steam and all games run so far, and crysis works but its editing tools only and designed for 64-bit only. I don't like windows 7 and I do not think that its faster, but what's the point of speed if I can't run anything?

Drivers are specific, because 64-bit drivers are needed for 64-bit and X 86 (32-bit) systems drivers for this type of system.  X 86 applications run well on 64-bit if it does not involve drivers and software. You seem rather unlucky or unhappy.  What could have been encrypted by another user on another machine will most likely depending on what type of encryption, you talk about the problems.

Often the trick to get installed programs is to right click on the configuration file and select the "Run as Administrator" option.  Another often overlooked trick is to disable temporarily the scanner in time real and other similar programs during installation.
