Barrister,
I also just updated to Win7 (x64 Ultimate). Like you I was having issues. Turned out to be a driver problem, (Motherboard).
Ensure you're running the correct drivers for everything. By default, Win7 will try to use your old Vista drivers as they are VERY similar.
Unfortunately, sometimes there may be issues. Go to your Motherboard and Video card web sites and ensure you download and install the correct Windows 7 drivers for your system. DO NOT let the Nvidia website use the auto scan. If you used it before and go into it again with Win7 after having Vista, Nvidia still thinks your system is running Vista and will not download the correct version.
Hope this helps you out.
