I am running imageJ on the 64-bit version of windows 7 just
fine.  

I recall on Vista I had a hard time getting it to run, and
the problem was with file/folder permissions.

The solution I found was to move the imageJ directory out of
the Program Files directory, and to make sure all files/
folders were accessible to all users.  Then imageJ ran just
fine.  Oddly, after I did that, I was able to move the imageJ
folder back into the Program Files directory and it has been
running fine since, even in Windows 7.
