EDITED: I went back to the beginning of this thread and tried some things suggested, and I now have 32 bit IE back.
I didn't see an option where I could delete this message.
Anyway, you guys rock.

Hope this helps you guys figure it out................
Thanks as always
I tried the following suggestion however it did not work for me IE8 still does not work in the 32 bit version...
Since a 64 bit browser is working, try this:
Start> In search box, type cmd> Right click cmd.exe in results above and choose Run as administrator
When the command prompt opens type:
netsh winsock reset
Press enter
Restart PC
Hopefully that will fix it

All: I tried all the suggestions posted here, including re-setting winsock, the TCP/IP stack and IE-32. Nothing worked. Here is what did.
I first noticed that on the Tools - Internet options - Connections - Lan Settings that the proxy setting on IE-32 (auto detect off and proxy server on but no server specified) vs IE-64 (auto detect on, no proxy server) were different. This appears to have taken place when uninstalling some internet stick software. Control over these settings (there are greyed out) has been removed either because i"m not using an admin account or disabled by my corporate IT group when connecting to the corporate lan.
To fix this use the following steps:
1) Press Start and Search for cmd.exe - right click and select "Run as Administrator"
2) Enter the following at the command prompt including the quotes: "c:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"
This starts IE-32 from the command line in administrative mode.
3) Select Tools - Internet Options - Connections - Lan Settings. These settings should now be editable. Uncheck the "Use a proxy server..." and check "Automatically detect settings".
4) Close IE-32 and restart. Presto both IE-32 and IE-64 should now be working identically.
Cheers

Hi - just want to say a big thank you!!!!! to A Guy, tried your fix and worked like a treat. I was almost giving up hope with IE 32 bit not working but 64 bit was. I tried everything available on the net, on MS knowledge base and my last resort was to reinstall windows 7 on top. I was very worried, apart from IE 32 bit not working, I kept getting Visual C++ Runtime Error and Windows Live not working. I was running Spyware Doctor which was doing fine when I had a Windows XP laptop before. But when I got the new laptop with Windows 7, it has been giving problems and won't update and kept asking for proxy server setting and I'm not even using one! Finally pin down to 32 bit not working, uninstall Spyware Doctor, downloaded AVG and MalwareByte but they won't update as IE 32bit not working and meanwhile. Tried using Firefox, no joy! It has taken me 3 days to find this post. Thank you once again!!
