FYI, just hitting the tilde key isn't going to make you lose achievements. I used to do it every play session to do FOV 85 because changing the .ini files didn't seem to stick for some reason and I was still getting achieves.

I haven't had a chance to play but Skyrim has refused to launch on PC's running 64 bit Win7 since day 1 and most of it is related to Steam. I've got a post earlier in this thread where I had the issue (before 1.2) and turning off cloud sync in steam fixed it.
I think this solution will resolve most launch issues for folks though.
Browse to your steam file directory. Typically Program Files(x86)\Steam
Delete (or safer rename) the Clientregistry.blob file.
Close Steam (and end the process in task manager if necessary)
Re-open Steam
Launch Skyrim
Patch 1.1 or 1.2 broke my Skyrim launch awhile back, but all I had to do was Verify Cache (which downloaded one or two files) and I was back up and running. I have the Steam version of Skyrim (bought and pre-loaded before launch), running on Windows 7 64-Bit, and I've not had any other troubles than that... except for more frequent crashes after 1.2 (never had any before 1.2), and it takes about 30 seconds longer for the splash screen to go away and the game to actually start (also introduced in 1.2).
Don't know what your specific problem is, but I don't think you can blame Windows 7 64-bit.
