Why would you want the 64-bit version to be the default? Many add-ons do
not yet have a 64-bit version. It will be a long time before controls in
web pages require a 64-bit version of the web browser; however, it is highly
likely that their 64-bit version will give you nothing in the way of
additional functionaly that their older existing 32-bit counterpart could
not perform.

There is nothing you get for additional functionality in the 64-bit that you
don't have in the 32-bit version. Just configure the 32-bit version as the
default web browser.

The 64-bit version of IE was included for forward compatibility as add-ons
and ActiveX controls in web pages slowly migrate to 64-bit support (although
that means very little in regard to their feature set changing except
possibly for video playback). The 32-bit version remains for backward
compatibility (both now and in future Windows versions). You will find now
lots of problems using the 64-bit versions of IE that might disappear in
another 6 to 8 years from now as programmers find the 32-bit market is too
small to expend their time and they'll want the larger 64-bit audience at
that time in the future.

Some might say that the 64-bit version of IE is more stable. That's because
they cannot install their old 32-bit versions of add-ons that generated the
instability in IE; i.e., they are using a cleaner instance of IE so, of
course, it is more stable. While you didn't mention it (you just said
"Vista"), it is apparent you installed the 64-bit version of Windows Vista.
That will include both the 32- and 64-bit versions of IE. Configure the
32-bit version of IE as the default web browser.

I read the link you sent but it referred to XP 64. I upgraded to explorer 8
after I got this computer in january. your link said that the manufacturer
should have put both 32 and 64 explorer on here. (explorer 7). now if I was
running explorer 7, 64 bit, when I upgraded, then I might not have any
explorer 8, 32 bit, around here. the link said I should start 32 bit by the
start menu but it seems the same regardless of where I start it. maybe the
control panel where I am going to for setting the defaults is the wrong
place to go. I will keep experimenting. charlie

ok, now when I reset everything windows said I needed to restart explorer.
got an explorer 8 welcome screen and set my choices. then went to
options/programs and set outlook as the default, closed everything, went to
options/programs again and it said explorer was the default browser and box
was checked to indicate whether to tell me if internet explorer is not the
default browser. but the window to make default was grayed out and I still
cannot go to saved emails and click on the links without getting the error
message. deadend again. charlie

Tis easy 'nuff to find out which version of IE that you are running. Load
IE and go look under the Help -> About menu. Are you running the 32- or
64-bit version of IE?
