I use win7 32bit with SDD 139 from china, without problems.
64bit is always troublesome , especially when the software originates from the xp-age.
(nevertheless my china-supplier recommended xp.. which did not work for me.)

for the VM, i use virtualbox, but vmware should also do the job..

Any suggestions on solving this or where I can buy replacement software at a reasonable price that will actually load and work?? The total lack of documentation - such as system requirements - and then false solutions that don't work - is a real stumbling block for me. I'm not a computer expert.

When using WIN7 64 bit it will not work natively. It is necessary to use XPMODE. This sets up a "virtual" computer running XP on your WIN7 machine.
Install and use Windows XP Mode in Windows 7

If you install the above and start an XP VM, Virtual machine, you can then install the drivers and then the SDD software.
The USB devices do need to be "active". This is set on the title bar when you start the XP Mode VM.

Not being a computer person though means that you may have to become one, but if you can fly, you can work this out.

get win7 32bit ... professional or ultimate is what I use.
install some win-addons like java or adobereader.
install SDD
set the mongoose to be forwarded to the virtual machine.
