Sorry but this is nonsense ..

I'm running Win7 Ultimate x64 and mp3tag is running as good as it was on XP.

How did you install it ? Admin or user ?  
What / Which kind of tags Windows Explorer shows ?  
Do you have rights to write to the settings folder ?

Win7 is more picky about rights then XP

Have a read here.
