I use usually windows7 - 64 bit.

And it work very well with qgis from os4geo installer (qgis-dev version)

I don't use the rasters functionality, but the qgis-grass plugin work 
without any problem.

perhaps is a problem of path.

On windows 7 - 64 bit
there is two specific directory for the programs:

the first is

"c:\Programmi"  (equivalent to the "c:\program files" in the english 
version)

the second is

"c:\Programmi(x86)"

the Operating system (windows 7) automatically use one or the other if 
the installed program is 64bit or 32bit.

Perhaps in your windows-xp qgis (or the python) was installed in the 
wrong directory (64 bit).
