I still haven't found the source of the problem but I'm guessing it is windows 7 64 itself.
I was afraid it might be.
(His video card and stuff is all top-notch (he plays games a lot) so I
doubt that's
the issue.)
Is there some kind of XP mode that he can try run Inkscape under?
There is a XP compatibility mode in Windows 7. But I doubt this is the trouble.
2 Gbyte is a miserable amount of memory for a 64 bit install. Many desktops for Windows 7 64 bit have 8 Gbyte!
(Using 64 bit often doubles the memory needed).
