Bev,
Windows 7 only went to large manufacturers in July as a stable release. It didn't go retail until October (both 2009) so it's reasonably new.
I think I said before what's likely to have happened is they subcontracted the development of this software to a third party company, perhaps own the code or may not.
Either way as there appears to be a low level driver involved the developers have to develop this to be compatible with Windows 7 - their application could be from Windows XP and was tweeked to work with Vista, however, drivers for XP are unlikely to be Window 7 compatible.
So they need to clear the people who wrote the code, wait for their current work to finish, begin the development of the new code and then test it.
Could I suggest you perhaps try downloading a copy of VMWARE www.vmware.com and obtain a copy of Vista or perhaps XP from your friendly reseller - by installing vmware you can then run another operating system within windows. You need VMWARE player which will allow you to create a Windows XP computer under Windows 7.
Enjoy!
