It's the best Windows so far. Trust me on this.
Are you getting some kind of an error message?

I run NWN on two computers with Win7 (Premium and Starter) and never had any problems...
Did you try compatibility mode?

For example, nwnmain.exe Properties, Compatibility sheet. I'm not sure if you should edit the launcher or the exe proper, though.

You can launch the game from nwmain.exe, too, so at least tweaking that one should work. It just skips the DM client / toolset selection thingy.

sounds easy nuf
edit: i have to do all this because my other computer simply refuses to stay connected whenever im online with it but this only happens when im playing nwn, not even other online games. so i dunno what thats about but this is a much faster comp anyway. any ideas as to what would cause my being disconnected from the gamespy thingy everytime? it happens about 10-20 into playing, every time i try and log on.

Not to be insulting, but did you apply the critical rebuild after you reinstalled? You'll get compatibility errors until you do. Once the rebuild is applied it works just like it should without having to mess with the compatibility settings. AzureLuna and I both run on Windows 7 machines.
EDIT: You do have to right-click the shortcut and run as administrator, however.

No, you need to run it in XP compatibility mode. Try SP3 for starters. You can try them all and see if any works.
Edit: And yeah, the critical rebuild should be done. I assumed you'd patched and everything.

I have mine running how NinjaClarinet suggested. I don't have it in compatibility mode in windows 7. Just made it need to run as administrator.

After you have everything installed and patched I have found the settings below to be the best under 7. Perhaps the run as administrator setting could be argued as a bad setting, but I feel it is important (especially if you ever play the OC or other local modules, and want your laptop to use all available graphics optimizations).  Hope it helps. PS edit: Linux is the best OS ever, any version
