IE 9 Ruined my PC

I D/L the new IE9, however, it was taking a very long time to install, then I got a failed to install message, and it left a link to MS support page.
Since I tried to install it my PC was taking a very long time to shut down. I decided to do a system restore, well all I got was a black screen and the cursor, I tried to reboot in safe mode same thing a black screen.
Luckily I had a Windows recovery Disk, I did a system restore, still a black screen, I did a start up recovery and that said there was no problem. I rebooted and hey presto!! my Pc was back to normal.
Why would IE9 cause this problem?
Will it happen again?

Since you're running a 64-bit version of Window 7 you need to get the 64-bit download version of Internet Explorer.

MSFT was my source. The critical updates? I usually install the ones that don't give me a strange vibe. I really, really try to avoid the phone home stuff. My internet is slow enough w/o a bunch I spy going on in the bkgrnd.

Well..... you're probably missng an update required by IE9.

And for what it's worth, those "critical" updates are released for a reason ;)

Good luck.

The link is only 36 pages long.:):) no problem if you are a speed reader.

As I also posted on this thread IE9 RC x64 will not load and connect to the Net on my W7 HP x64 computer. IE9 RC x32 works fine as do both version of IE9 Beta on another W7 HP x64 computer.

I think that there could be a bug in IE9 RC x64 with regards to running on W7 x64 computers.

I don't know where you come up with that :huh:

I can assure you that at least 70 percent of the users in this forum are running Windows 7 64-bit including me and we have no issues running IE9. And IE9 IS compatible with Window 7 64-bit - thus the two versions posted by Nem..... ;)
