Hog PC widget trouble

I have windows 7 64 bit and i believe a hog 3 widget (on the widget is a pig with roman numeral III in the background). Hog PC downloaded fine after I instructed windows 7 to enable the "XP compatability" what that is I dont know but now the software seems to work(i can add fixtures cues basic functions no lights are hooked up). I have never seen the widget light up. when i open the widget upgrade it says "no widget found" Im assuming i need a driver for the widget it was bought used so I literally just have a widget no other accessories or parts. I read in some other posts that HOG now works with windows 7 64bit. just spent 10,000 in lights and it all comes down to this little widget. surely this isnt that hard. help? all this gear is supposed to go out and be used in 4 days.

    So I am the other half of this box of fun. (hey Tim) after reading this and other posts the answer is to install windows xp. I have been told that there is a way to tell windows 7 to only run in 32 bit mode. If this magical button exist, will this be a way around our problem. also I am interested in networking above said computer with my laptop, can I do that with just a widget? I have an Ipc at work and was looking through the manual and I cant tell if it would work or not. I also noticed that my hardware inside the Ipc is a 4 channel super widget. but in the networking window, It recognizes it as a DP8000.
