<p>When I read this thread, I felt the other response needed a bit more detail, so I thought I would reply.</p><p>Technically, 64-bit IE cannot be your default web browser in Windows 7. But it is possible that IE is just not set to be your default.</p><p>First step is to verify that IE is set to be your default browser by clicking theMake Default button in IE > Tools > Internet Options > Programs.</p><p><img src="http://i794.photobucket.com/albums/yy225/galvor/ieasDefault.jpg" width="422" height="189" /></p><p><em>You will notice that 64 bit IE is not available to be the default. (see image</em>)</p><p>If your 32-bit IE is actually broken, I would recommend making sure that you are on IE9 and upgrade if not (IE > Tools > About Internet Explorer). If you are already on IE9 you can try looking at the Microsoft forums for how to fix your specific issue or taking you computer a trusted repair person.</p><p>But as the original responder stated, you can always install an alternate browser and set it to the default on install or via its preferences/options section and that should also fix your issue. If I were to select an alternate I would choose Google Chrome, though Firefox is still quite good, and there is always Safari, or even Opera.</p><p>Good Luck</p>
