Have you downloaded headers? Do they actually download?

A huge gotcha in moving from XP to win 7 is permissions, with UAC you need to make sure your data files, including spools, are in a user writable location. If you installed cleanly on win7 and used the defaults, you'd be fine, but if you simply copied everything over there's a solid chance that could be your problem.

You're not being much help. You right click a group, select "Download all Headers" and what happens?
