Windows 7 with IE 8 64 bit problems

[Cheryle]

I hope someone can assist me. I'm trying to load two programs on my new
laptop, both seem to have compatibility issues with Windows 7 and/or 64 bit.
How can I change my IE settings to 32 bit.

The two programs are:

Desktop weather (from weather.com)
VZAccess Manager (used to tether my Blackberry for wifi access)

Both seem have an issue with 64 bit, so I wanted to change it to 32 bit but
don't know how.

Appreciate anyone's suggestions or help!

Thanks,
Cheryle

Windows 7 64-bit includes both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Internet
Explorer 8.

Internet Explorer is already on your machine in 32- and 64-bit versions. The
64-bit is the default, so you have to drag the 32-bit icon to your Desktop
or Quick Launch Bar.

Click Start>Programs> then scroll the list to Internet Explorer. Notice two
listings, one has (64-bit) following it. You want to run the other one. Hold
the CTRL key and drag the 32-bit IE icon to the desktop or the Quick Launch.

That won't fix the problem.

Nevermind, I changed my settings so your trangression does not affect me
anymore.
