hi,

a few days ago this issue has arisen. the 64 bit IE runs ok but 32 bit just wont start. when i click the exe file it tries to open but just closes. if i click it repeatedly i get a 'We were unable to return you to the page you were viewing' error message. the address it point to is below.

ive tried rolling back to IE8 then re-installing IE9.
resetting IE9 to default.
ran spybot

any help would be greatly appreciated.

reset IE9 to default should cure it as that should remove all toolbars and addons
it is normally a damaged add on that causes the problem

see if IE9 will start in safe mode ( no addons) as shown here

it wont start in safe mode or with extoff added into the shortcut. i have tryed resetting IE but i think what could be happening is the 64bit version is being reset and not the 32 bit version.

how do i reset the 32bit version with the command prompt?

i tried creating a seperate profile and IE 32 bit runs on that ok which narrows the issue down a little.

i still havent found out how to reset IE using the command line yet though.

anyone know how?

noone?

Try restoring to a restore point before the issue started.

To open a command prompt in 32-bit:

Press the Windows key + R to open a Run box.

Type %windir%\SysWoW64\cmd.exe

Press Enter.

Once in the 32-bit command prompt, type inetcpl.cpl and press Enter.

Once you've opened the 32-bit Internet Options, click the Advanced tab to reset IE settings.

resetting IE unfortunately didnt fix it. i also tryed a restore but it doesnt go back a far enough from when the issue arose.

im all out of ideas but short of a full OS re-install what else could be causing this?

the fact it works ok with a different profile is weird.

That's 'cause the profile is corrupted (IE at least). IE is part of the operating system and the reasons behind its malfunction can be numerous.

if it was an IE issue then surely by removing and reinstalling it the issue would be resolved no?
