IF your Cruzer is new I’m not sure what the problem is.
IF your Cruzer is older and has U3 software on it and your Windows 7 is the 64-bit version rather than the 32-bit version run the U3 Launcher in Windows 7’s Compatibility Mode for Vista. To do that, with the USB stick plugged in, open Windows Explorer, find the Removable drive, dbl click on it, move your mouse pointer to the .exe file, a RIGHT click on it, click on Properties, then click on the Compatibility tab. You should be able to figure out what to do at this point.

“What gives with the Cruzer and Windows 7???”
Many USB drives contain no software thus work with Win 7 without problem. Your SanDisk has software installed on it.
Microsoft chose to make two version of Windows 7, one is 32-bit based, one is 64-bit based. 90% of the people don’t need a 64-bit OS. 90% of the apps most people run are 32-bit. U3 is a 32-bit app and SanDisk never developed a 64-bit version of it.
