Ok, so this is a weird one. It just sort of started happening out of
the blue. My computer gets an IP just fine, but when I attempt to
connect to the internet it won't connect. I did some troubleshooting
and found that I was also having an issue with windows media player
and my antivirus (nod32) crashing. I played around a little more and
found that the x64 versions of these programs worked just fine. I am
able to get online using the x64 version of IE, and my media player
doesn't crash when using the x64 version. Now obviously since the x86
versions are the defaults this causes some issues and most programs
don't see that they are connected to the internet (AIM, Gtalk, etc). I
consider myself fairly well versed in Vista and I have no idea what to
do with this one. Anyway, let me know what you think. Thanks!
 
RE: Cannot run x86 programs

Hi:
Failure to connect to the Internet using IE x86 has been caused by the
NVidia firewall.
Have you updated your chipset drivers?
Are they NVidia chips?
Try uninstalling the (NVidia) firewall if such is the case.

Chipset is intel. I have an nVidia video card, but I doubt that to be
the issue. Thanks for the attempt though
