Scott Sibley aka “S Sibs” I want to thank you for posting your fix to this problem because you saved me. I did what you said and my problem was solved!!!
For others that may have the problem I was having - here was the situation.
I bought a new Laptop running Win7 - 64bits.
I downloaded Reaper - 64bits.
Purchased EZdrummer from Musiciansfriend.com. Ezdrummer arrived as the 32bit version.
I went to the Ezdrummer website and downloaded the files to convert from the 32bit version of Ezdrummer to the 64bit version. Here is the link.

You need an Ezdrummer user account (free) and must login to download the conversion.
I downloaded the conversion files (Ezdrummer_WIN_130.zip).
Here is where I ran into my first problem. I’m new to computers and didn’t know the “Read Me” file – which was part of the downloaded files – had very important instructions for converting Ezdrummer from 32bit to 64bit. Basically, the “Read Me” instructs you to run 2 upgrades. You must first upgrade Ezdrummer to the latest 32bit version. Only AFTER you’ve upgraded to the latest 32bit version can you run the conversion from 32bit Ezdrummer to 64bit Ezdrummer.
Once I figured this out and ran the conversion - I then had to tell Reaper where to find the 64bit version. I’ll post details on how to do this if someone is in need.
Once Reaper found the 64bit version- I thought I was all set but, I wasn’t. At that point I was not able to drag and drop the midi grooves from Ezdrummer onto a Reaper track.
Thanks to Scott Sibley’s aka “S Sibs” post of running Reaper as an administrator - that problem was fixed. All is good at this point.
If someone needs help to run Reaper as an Administrator read “S Sibs” Post. I’d also be happy to post a little more detail.
