Shortened version of what I use with 3.5.11 on Debian:

[global]
     workgroup = WEBBEDIT
     security = User
     map to guest = Bad User
     unix passwd sync = Yes

[html]
     path = /var/www/html
     read only = No
     valid users = your_login
     admin users = your_login

Ensure that your Win7, linux, and samba username and password 
combinations are identical.
If this config works, you can fine tune with other parameters as needed.
