"To export a list, you must have a Microsoft SharePoint Foundation-compatible application."

The fix for this is simple. Please make sure that you are using the 32bit version of Internet Explorer and not the 64bit version. In your start menu, the 64bit version of Internet Explorer is identified asInternet Explorer (64bit)whereas the 32bt version of Internet Explorer is simply displayed asInternet Explorer. The 64bit version is the default for 64bit Windows 7 installations.
