Hi! I have problems in using my internet explorer. First, my computer is 64 bits but every time I use my internet explorer 64 bits to check my email and surfing on net some features are missing. What is the cause of this?

Hello!

Would you like to give us some more details, please?

What operating system?
Which version of Internet Explorer?
Which features are missing?

Don't use the 64-bit version. If your IE browsing experience requires all the whizzy plug-ins you may find that there are not 64-bit versions available, hence the lack of functionality.

Microsoft's advice starts with,

If you experience problems when you use the 64-bit version of Internet Explorer, try to view the same Web site by using the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer....

No Offense, But Personally, if possible, i would suggest using something other then ie to check for web mail : ex Firefox, i find it a little bit too risky on the internet.

Personally, I would bet my hard-earned cash that the handymanlondon is a spammer, but since his post did not violate the rules there was no reason to remove it.

I've only answered to check if he's really bothered about any advice at all. The answer seems to be 'no'.

r3zen: I've been using ie since it's very first incarnation and never experienced any problems with it. The only problems I have experienced have been with a few plug-in's in the recent past - IE9, but soon sorted.

Firefox is not as 'safe' apparently (various magazine reports in recent past), as the ie haters would have us believe, when I did use it a couple of years ago I found it clunky, uninspiring and generally lack-lustre compared to the hype it frequently gets. It also wouldn't let me log in to my Sky TV account and two webmail accounts I had - it soon went!

Safari, is Apple's preferred browser and is ....does it's job but lacks features.

Opera, Hmm pass! OK so it was a few years back since I last installed it - or tried to - it didn't like my laptop. I did get it installed on my work PC but didn't like. Again had problems with logging into my website control panel and a few plug-in issues

Chrome, why would you use anything Google? man, you think Microsoft are trying to own the world, I don't trust Google one inch! so never used it!

So I'm happy to stick with ie

you can use other browser which has no bit problem i think so
