What Mac OS X version do you use and what Boot Camp version do you have?
Do you want to install the BC drivers via the Mac OS X DVD?
And yes, Windows 7 64-bit is supported, unless you have a Core Duo MBP.

My Mac OS X version is 10.6.4 and my boot camp version is 3.0.2 (314)
And yeah when I put the Mac OS X CD in the drive it give me two options. One is to Remote Install Mac OS X and two is DVD or CD Sharing, and none of them load the drivers.
My Computer is a Macbook Pro with 4gb of RAM
Try downloading the drivers from Apple's website.

Download the 3.0 drivers first and then install the 3.1 drivers afterwards. The 3.1 Boot Camp drivers are the ones that officially support Windows 7.

As they are .exe files (Windows executables), use Windows to download and execute them.
Thats what I thought, and after I install that, I'll be able to install the drivers?

Doing it this way does that mean I don't have to install what was said above?
Setup.exe actually supports a shorter list than that.
