X1 has been running for days, seems to complete but then later seems to start rebuilding again as if the indices became corrupt.
This is an artefact. What the percentage thing is telling you is that it has done that much of the work still to be completed. In other words, if it has already completed 90%, when it says "1%" it seems to mean 1% of the remaining 10%.
This confusion has been around for a long time.
For example, I have just told it to "Index files now" even though it claimed to have completed indexing. It now says "0.07% complete".

I think I'll just buy a new version, I was hoping to get confirmation there were no Windows 7 64-bit issues before doing that though. Any chance you know?
Can't help on 64-bit. Not gone that far yet. But I haven't seen reports here of problems with the bits in the OS. There may be challenges if you have 64-bit Office. But even there I wouldn't really know.
You can always give X1 a 10-day trial – too short in my opinion – and go back if it doesn't work out. My guess, though, is that newer versions are more likely to be 64-bit happy than an older version.
