Hi James,

There's a fair bit of explanation further down in the post titled "2 copies
of internet explorer???!!!"

Cheers

Why doesn't Internet Explorer 64-bit work with websites like its 32 bit
counterpart?

You'll find you need the 32-bit IE, I'm afraid, until such time as web sites
are updated to properly support 64-bit IE. Right now, you'd have problems
with just the 64-bit.

Active X Controls

When on-line, I get prompted to install Active X several times (depending on
the site). I click and select install now and 1 of 2 things happens. It
either asks for the run now or save, or it does nothing.

Again, the problem is most folks haven't yet re-written their activex
controls for 64-bit. That's why the default is to use the 32-bit version of
IE, which doesn't have a problem.
