Problem with IE 7 32bit under XP 64

Hi

I have a problem with IE7 32bit running on my XP64bit machine.
The IE 64bit version works fine and I'd be happy just to stick to that,
but I can't access the MS Update page using the 64bit version - it
requires me to use the 32bit version.

The problem is when you open IE7 32bit it seems to just hang. The
interface opens as normal and the tab reports that is is connecting, but
nothing happens. It also sends processor usage right up...as though it
is doing something.

Unfortunately, no matter how long you leave it nothing happens. You
can't close the app either and I have to resort to killing the process
manually.
I have tried reinstall the application but this hasn't changed
anything.

Does anyone have any suggestions???
Cheers
A

Try running IE without add-ons. Does the problem persist? If not track
down the offending add-on.

Hi

Thanks for your reply.

I have tried turning off all the add-ons via Internet options but to no
avail...

Cheers

Try the IE8 beta?

I wouldn't recommend that except on a test box or in a vm. Especially if
SP1 is not yet installed.
