Larry,
Not meaning to sound like a Grinch but did you read the instructions at the SatPC website? I and many others have it running flawlessly on W7/64 and W8/64.
See the instructions below

Good luck.

Hi Larry,
I have it running on a Windows 7 64bit version without a problem. If I remember right, you have to run the installer as Admin. Right click and select run as administrator.
Take a close look at the install guide and as specially the Windows 7 remarks.

I tried installing SatPC32 Ver 12.3 from a CD on my new PC: 64-bit Win7. This will not work due to this version being 32-bit only.
I tried installing from this CD on my HP Mini, 32-bit Win7 and I get this error every second: Fehler bei Fließkommaoperation which I think translates to floating point error. I have to use file manager to stop the popup error messages. I cannot find patches for this problem on the SatPC32 websites. It looks like my HP Mini will not run it.
I really want to install it on my new 64-bit laptop. It looks like all the downloads are trial versions of the full software. You must pay for the full version. So, do I have to purchase another copy to get the newer 64-bit version? I can't use the Ver 12.3 CD on my 64-bit Win7 laptop.
