Right click on the exe file of PCSX2 and hit Run as Administrator, or you'll get that second error, one about locking pages. To be logged in with an administrator account is not enough. Your ISO may be bad. Try a different plugin.
To the guy earlier, PCSX2 runs great on Windows 7, in fact a little faster than XP.
And just FYI to the other guy, 32-bit programs can access 4 GB of RAM. With the invention of virtual memory, a program's own virtual address space is its own; it won't be cluttered with other programs. Every 32-bit program has their own 4 GB of RAM on a 32-bit operating system (exceptions apply that I won't discuss or this little blurb will be way bigger). Whether you have enough physical RAM to run 80 programs all taking up 4 GB is another story. That aside, PCSX2 doesn't attempt to load the entire ROM at once. The second error about locking pages is because PCSX2 uses an optimization that tells the operating system to not attempt to swap pages out to the hard drive (for example if you're running low on physical memory and it wants to free up some), and that feature is only available in administrator mode.

Odd. I'm also using Windows 7 64-bit, and with 8 GB of RAM and haven't had those problems.
I was referring to vsub and heftig, respectively.
