I had this happen with plain old Epson scanning software
where I definitely had the 64 bit drivers from Epson.
Rebooted and ok.

Then I've had part of a program essentially disappear on
several occasions. It's a database scheduling program for
accounts. The first window always works - where the
contacts are actually listed. However, the actuall
scheduling window just opens blank and freezes. Here
rebooting doesn't work and I need to restore a backup. That
seems to fix it, but I've no idea why it happens ......

These events are what I've run into in one week of running 7
Prof 64 bit - I expect there's more to come :)
