IE8 32 bit not working

All I get when I try to connect using 32 bit version is "cannot display web
page"... I can connect using 64 bit version, but this limits what things I
can access ie nothing with flash etc. I've tried reinstalling, running
malware scans, system scans, I've searched the net for any solution to this.
It started after I brought my computer out of sleep, and I had previously
used IE 32bit that session. If anyone can help, I would be grateful!

Hi I'm running Vista 64-bit SP2, IE 8.

1 Yes the problem persists in no add-ons mode

2 Yes

3 I have BitDefender Internet Security 2010, the subscription for which is
current. I also have antimalwarebytes antimalware, and a2free. No third
party firewall. None of these were running in the background, as they have
all been installed more recently than IE8. I did have BitDefender 2009 at
the time, but I coundn't be sure if it was running or not when I installed
IE8.

4 When I bought the machine I think a trial of McAfee Internet Security was
installed.

I have also tried resetting TCP as suggested on
support.microsoft.com/kb/299357, which didn't work either.

McAfee (and Norton) applications are notorious for not uninstalling (or
upgrading) cleanly.

1. Download the McAfee Consumer Products Removal Tool, saving it to your
desktop:
http://download.mcafee.com/products/...tches/MCPR.exe

2. Close all open applications (i.e., anything with an icon on the taskbar).

3. Right-click on the file you saved in #1 above and select Run as
Administrator to run the utility. Don't TOUCH your keyboard until the run
completes, then reboot.

4. Do another Reset (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737) & test.
