If i run a search ( from the start menu ) it finds 3 internet explorer icons.
Internet explorer
internet explorer (64bit)
internet explorer (no add ons )
If i run just internet explorer, , for the first time i can see the active content on my website, , hey presto, , i have found the 32 bit explorer.
I wish someone could have suggested that to me a few days ago when i first posted the issue.
Many, many thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread, , i think the problem is solved now


PS: what is the 3rd option all about , ie (no add ons ) ? ? ?
