Audacity for Windows is only available as a 32 bit application.
Windows 7 x64 SP1 should be able to run 32 bit applications. Have you tried running it in compatibility mode?

The header is a little unusual for a WAV file, but looks "valid" and works fine here (Debian Wheezy, Audacity 2.1.0).

There will be an off...

Copy the files to your hard drive first, then check that they play OK in another application (such as Banshee, or whatever your default audio player), then import the hard drive copies into Audacity.
