IE7(32bit) and WinXP x64 web surfing spike 5/7/2007 6:11:02 PM While I'm at it I'd also like to ask. Why does my IE 7 on x64 machine hang on certain web pages and leave me staring at a blank page website? Sometimes I refresh and the page comes up. Other times I refresh and refresh and refresh and it doesn't ever show up. I cut and paste the url into a vm'ed windows xp 32 bit version and the page pops up no problem. Or I fire up a 32 bit table pc and the page shows up no problem. Did I get screwed again by M$ in being an early adopter of sorts. I left the machine alone for several months and used another older one expecting to leave the patches and service pack catch up to my problems but all to no avail.

Re: IE7(32bit) and WinXP x64 web surfing Theo <theo[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> 5/7/2007 6:32:26 PM There could be any number of things causing your problems; memory, bad spots on your hard drive, corrupted file(s), missing files, etc. I can honestly say I do not experience the problems you report, so I would suspect my Win XP x64 system is performing as expected and without problems. I have been using Win XP x64 for over 3 years now. I stated with the CPPs in January 2004 and installed the RTM in June 2005. spike wrote: [Quoted Text] > While I'm at it I'd also like to ask.

Someone stated that some controls used on some pages are not compatible with the 64-bit browser.

I remember this problem while x64 was beta, but it's not a malfunction, just a lack of add-ons.

Re: IE7(32bit) and WinXP x64 web surfing Theo <theo[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> 5/7/2007 8:15:26 PM You have a good point. I forgot about the plug-ins and add-ons. Thanks, Theo...
