There are various issues, so you may or may not be able to work with VS 2005 on Win7 (actually Vista introduced the incompatibilities for the most part) depending on what you want to do. Microsoft documents the limitations on a series of pages that start here:
Visual Studio on Windows Vista and Windows 7
Note that a workaround I’ve heard suggested is running the affected version of Visual Studio in a virtual machine running WinXP.
