I can assure you that boost 1_33_1 has been succesfully installed using MS 
vc7.1. I've done it on several PC's here. My first guess would be somehow 
your download was corrupted. I'd first try re-downloading boost from the 
website. The one difference is that I copy bjam.exe to my boost_1_33_1 
directory and issue:

    bjam "-sTOOLS=vc-7_1" stage

at the command prompt.

Other possible causes that I could conceive:

    1) wrong bjam.exe
    2) corrupt disk
    3) bad install of vc7.1

If you still need the dll/lib I can send it to your email address.
