Is there any way to default the launcher topics to IE64 bit?

My IE doesnt work on windows 7

It launches based off of what your default browser is, you can check "Default Programs" to see if IE64 is listed there and set it as default.

However I would recommend switching to Google Chrome or Mozilla FireFox, they're safer and higher performance, plus they'll ask to be made default when you first install them, which will solve your problem! If you choose to stick it out with IE though I can't really help, IE isn't all that reliable in the first place.

When I read this thread, I felt the other response needed a bit more detail, so I thought I would reply.

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.

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.

You will notice that 64 bit IE is not available to be the default. (see image)

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.

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.

Good Luck
