Windows Repair (All in One) doesn't repair Internet Explorer white screen

Yes, I did use the 64-bit version of IE, certainly in the upgrade to IE 10 (which failed as well as the failure of IE 9 installed on the PC as part of Windows 7), because the 64-bit version is what Windows Update offered me.

Willy2:
I have a Win 7 64 bit system and IE 9. When IE installed itself on my computer, it detected I had a 64 bit system and then it installed both the 32 bit & 64 bit version on my computer, in "Internet Explorer", a subfolder of "program files" (64 bit) & "program files (x86)" (32 bit).

But Win 7 (perhaps Vista & Win 8 as well) contains a bug (in "CMD.exe" ??) that makes WR fail when WR tries to target/access the folder "program files" (64 bit). Instead it targets "program files (x86)" (32 bit). So, WR isn't able to repair the 64 bit version of IE. That could be the reason why the repairs failed for IE (64 bit). But keep in mind, you still have the 32 bit IE version !!!

I use the 32 bit version because a number of IE plugins are 32 bit as well. If I would use the 64 bit version then I get error upon error.

@Shane: Is there a work-around for this problem ? It has to do with the systemvariables
%programfiles% & %programfiles(x86)%.
