Thomas,
Try this (my Windows is in Spanish so translation may differ slightly).
Open IE32, choose Tools, Internet Options, Advanced Options tab.
There is a button in the lower part for resetting (or restoring) your
default IE settings.
Sometimes it does the magic.

Hi, Thomas.

As the others said, you can't "delete" IE8 from Win7, so you can't "delete
and replace" it. IE is an integral part of Windows.

The only thing you can do in this vein is, as you mentioned in another
message in this thread, to Turn it Off - and then Turn it On again. But
that affects both versions (32-bit and 64-bit) of IE8. To try that, go to
Control Panel | Programs and Features. On the left side of that screen,
click Turn Windows features on or off, then remove the check from the
Internet Explorer 8 box. Reboot, then repeat the exercise to check the box
again.

But I'm not sure this will do any good. I haven't heard this complaint from
anyone else.

The two versions of IE8 are different, of course. For one thing, Adobe's
Flash Player won't run in 64-bit IE8 but it runs fine in 32-bit IE8 in
64-bit Windows. You probably already know that.

Have you run a malware scan? Recently? Have you tried the System File
Checker (sfc /scannow) ?

I'll ask some more-tech-savvy MVPs to see if they have any clues.

I'm running 64bit WIN 7 and I believe that my 32bit version of MSIE 8 has
been corrupted. My 64bit version of MSIE 8 is fine. How can I delete and
replace my 32bit version of MSIE 8?

Hate to hijack the thread, but I was going to ask if there is a solution
to the 2 Hung iexplore.exe processes that IE8 leaves behind and hogs CPU
time.
No viruses are on the systems, multiple systems, different software,
addons disabled, crash protection/tabs disabled etc....
Definitely a bug in IE8. IE7 does not have this problem.

Any solutions?

Thanks
Martin

Thomas,

R.C. White put out a call for help re your problem.

Historically what you describe has been caused by an oversized/corrupt
cache.

Here is an *old* FAQ of mine that discusses your very problem:
http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/answers/55.html

Clear your IE cache, and reduce its size to a max of, say, 500 Meg. Also,
do not use the "automatically" option for checking for new versions of web
pages.
