It doesn't make any difference whther you have a 64-bit or a 32-bit operating system.  SL works just as well with Windows 7 as it does with Vista and XP.  Your  problem is something else.  However, I don't know what you mean by saying that you can "log in" but not "get in." They are the same thing.  Do you mean that the log in process stalls or kicks you out before it finishes?  You cn add more information to your question by clicking on the Options link in its upper right corner and selecting Edit.

One common problem is an intermittent connection, usually at the router.  Try rebooting both the router and your modem by unplugging them for a couple of minutes and thn plugging them back in.  If you're on wireless, change to a direct cable connection instead.  Many people have a hard time staying logged in and rezzing properly when they are on wireless.  It's just not stable enough in many cases.  Finally, because you may be having a firewall problem, read this thread to see what to do about it >>> http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/How_do_I_configure_my_software_firewall_%28such_as_Norton_Internet_Security,_McAfee_Personal_Firewall,_or_ZoneAlarm%29

SL will work on a 64 bit Vista or 7 machine just fine.  I run it routinely on my x64Win7Pro with 6Gig of ram, and never have so much as a lick of trouble with it. 

I can't say much about Vista, cept I detest it.  But I know that the SLviewer2 works perfectly on my x32XPpro, the x64Win7pro, AND the x32Win7Home machines.  I've seen people with your problem before though, and their issue was with their firewalls or with their DNS settings.  (apparently most cable companies have really bad DNS servers which are poorly suited to gaming and accessing game servers.)  I use google DNS in my router and I don't have any issues at all accessing SL.
