OK, I got missed interpretations of your post:

"here is my (simple) script that i'm running on xp sp2, ie7:"

That is xp sp2 32bits, or what?

Got messed up since you finish your post with: "this works on xp sp2
machines that are running ie6, oddly enuff..." ...

So: have you tried xp sp2 32bits with IE7, or just with IE6? in any
case, I suggest you try IE7 on 32bits or check what is actually doing
the offending watir file, so we can determine if:

- is a API call to some DLL that behaves differently in 64bits
- is a change in the API of IE6 versus IE7.
