    Posted: 14 Oct 2008 at 11:47pm
Hi everyone, still learning the in and outs of vista. I have had my new system for a week and I love it. My question is the 32bit browser quit working for some reason today. The 64 bit browser is working which is fine but some content can only be viewed with the 32. Any suggestions as to why and suggestions on how to correct this. Thanks, Guy Preston

Are other 32bit apps working?
 
This happened to me as well, but when 32bit IE did not work, other 32bit apps did not work either.

Is the Windows Media Player working?
 
Also, go to control panel and click on the 'View 32-bit control panel items' icon. When 32-bit didn't work, I could not get this to open.

Have you recently installed any Windows Updates? If so, try unistalling them and then see if your 32bit IE works.
