    Who would want to run 32 bit IE9 on a 64 bit machine:p?

    On second thoughts don't tell me, I really don't want to argue anymore, can we agree to differ?

    Don't use the 64 bit version of IE, It doesn't have many of the features that the 32 bit version has that makes it faster, its essentially there for developers rather than users.

    I have IE8 and it works fine on my 32 and 64 bit machines.

    Please see my post #39
    If one tried to install 32 bit internet explorer 9 on a 64 bit machine you would see the following error message .....

    Both the 32 and 64 bit version are installed by the 64 bit installer. The 64 bit version doesn't have the same rendering engine or acceleration components as the 32 bit version, which significantly degrades the performance of the browser in comparison.

    Yes, see your post #39, and other posts saying you can't run 32 bit IE9 or other software, on a 64 bit machine.

    Now you say you are running both versions of IE8 on yours?
