hi ,


you can use s7 manager prof. v5.5
simatic wincc v7.0 sp2 
which are compatible with windows 7

and one good solution you can use VMware for windows xp in windows 7 to run all software as mension by you,

To check compatibility between Siemens Program and MS, I like using compatibility tool. till now, it is the latest one (last update 17 Jan. 2012) and I think whenever a new software or SP will be released, it will be updated.
Hope this helps.

bear in mind that Siemens does not support the virtual machines... I have had some problems getting it to work. 

the best solution for me was upgrading to a step 7 that could run on win 7 64 bits

I think VM works well...in certain cases you can download the programme too in the CPU....
VM is a better option if your Computer hardware is good.....if not then you will have to purchase the mentioned software.....
