It's rediculous. After these years that every thing has migrated to win7 64bit, still we have problem with siemens. Hello, This thread started from year 2011. So we can't say "After these years every thing has migrated to Win 7 64 biit and we still have problems" May be there are some problems and dificulties in comptability issue between Simatic and MS Windows. But to be specific it is not the case here with PC adapter. Now we are talking about6ES7972-0CB20-0XA0 according to description of this product it can work under Windows 7 64bit Product Description of6ES7972-0CB20-0XA0 SIMATIC S7, PC ADAPTER USB F. CONNECTION OF S7-200/300/ 400, C7; WITH USB-CABLE (5M) CAN BE USED UNDER WINXP/VISTA/ WINDOWS 7 32/64BIT Please have a look here:Installation of the PC Adapter USB/USB Prommer Driver with STEP7 V5.5 It's written clearly in a separite section titled Windows 7 in this link: For Windows 7 you must use the drivers from the SIMATIC Device Drivers. The driver on the CD USB Prommer 10/2007 / PC Adapter USB 10/2007 is not released for Windows 7. This product released as from April 2003. We do not know what's your product firmware, And if your product was purshased your PC adapter in 2003, then it will not under Windows 7 until you update the firmware. Thus because in 2003, there were nothing called Windows 7 This PC adapter "6ES7972-0CB20-0XA0" is now obsolete and you can not order it. Siemens developed a new PC adapter "6GK1571-0BA00-0AA0" and it can work underWindows 7 64bit Product Description of6GK1571-0BA00-0AA0 PC ADAPTER USB A2 USB-ADAPTER (USB V2.0) FOR CONNECTING A PG/PC OR NOTEBOOK TO SIMATIC S7 VIA PROFIBUS OR MPI USB CABLE 5M INCLUDED MPI-KABEL 0,3M CAN BE USED UNDER WINXP/VISTA/ WINDOWS 7 32/64BIT This new product have added features which can be found here: New PC Adapter USB Now Available Hope this helps.

For this case check page 7 here: https://a248.e.akamai.net/cache.automation.siemens.com/dnl/DY/DY4MDMzAAAA_18734363_FAQ/STEP7_Compatibility_en.pdf The source of this pdf file can be found in this link: Which SIMATIC software packages are compatible with which Microsoft Windows operating system and with STEP 7 V5.5? Hope this helps.
