**I just found this on the Brother Website.

(select Windows 7, then search)
Or if this link doesn't work, go here:

Then select country, etc. until you get to downloads. (Instead of selecting your machine, go all the way to the bottom and select PED Basic.) Hopefully this works. I was able to find it to download. Send me a PM if you can't get it.
**If you use PED-Basic on Windows Vista®/ Windows® 7, never install the programs from the CD in your package!!
To prevent a problem, please install these programs instead of using the CD.

I use this software on Vista - 64-bit OS and it works fine. The internet also says it should not work in this case, but it does.
I don't use Windows 7, but I would just try installing it and see what happens. Here is something you can try if it doesn't work.
Basically, most programs from XP will work just fine with Windows 7. Of those programs that are older (designed before Vista existed) if any have a problem running correctly, they can be told to run in a compatibility mode. This includes modes for:
Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)
Windows Vista (Service Pack 1)
Windows Vista
Windows Server 2008 (Service Pack 1)
Windows Server 2003 (Service Pack 1)
Windows XP (Service Pack 3)
Windows XP (Service Pack 2)
Windows 2000
Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 5)
Windows 98 /Windows ME
Windows 95
Any of these can be chosen by right clicking the program that isn't working properly; then in the drop down menu go to 'Properties'. Under the new windows that opens go to the 'Compatibility' tab and check off 'Run this program in compatibility mode for:' and choose 'Windows XP (Service Pack 3)'.
If this still doesn't work, then you could use a virtual XP environment. I think this only works on some versions of Windows 7.
I know this doesn't help a lot, but it is difficult to diagnose a problem before there is one. :)
