I have the same problem as Tron Ruud: any 32-bit application that tries to
access the Internet terminates unexpectedly, for example Thunderbird or
Internet Explorer 32 bits. Internet 64-bit applications work fine, for
example Internet Explorer 64-bit version, Windows Update... I cannot receive
or send e-mail (I use Thunderbird; and it seems that Outlook 2007 is also a
32-bit appl.); I cannot use Internet Explorer with Macromedia Flash Player
(since it does not exist for IE 64-bit version, the only one with which I can
now work).
I solved the first time this problem restoring my system to a previous
configuration, but it has happened now again. I am in dispair. Probably I
will have to change to Win Vista 32-bits.
