IE is not working but firefox does work. Tried installing IE8 optimized for
MSN but I get the message "the installation does not support system
architecture (32/64 bits." I tried installing IE8 for Windows Vista x64 but I
get the message that an newer version is already installed on my computer. I
am presently using firefox to send this message.

 

Do you have a question for the newsgroup?

Hi,
Are you running 64-bit Vista? With 64-bit Vista you should already have
32-bit and 64-bit versions of Internet Explorer installed.

Do you have iexplore (or iexplore.exe) files located at:

"CProgram Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" (32-bit)
and/or
"CProgram Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" (64-bit)

Will Internet Explorer (either version) open by right-clicking the IE icon
on the desktop (choose Start without add-ons.)
or
from Start> Programs> Accessories> System tools> Internet Explorer (no
add-ons)

If IE opens without add-ons, look at IE> Help> About (hit the Alt key if the
Menu Bar isn't enabled.) Is there any mention of 64-bit in IE> Help> About?
