Out of curiosity, I found this rather dated solution via Google:
How to run the 32-bit Explorer shell on Windows x64
http://extended64.com/blogs/bhpaddock/archive/2005/05/22/539.aspx
Looks like there are side effects after enabling this.
Keep on searching for more current info.
Good luck.

Issue found and corrected!
It turns out the, nForce Network driver from nvidia does not work so well
that came w/ the system, it needs to be un-installed if installed, reboot,
and all is well, I am now able to run 32bit browsers (firefox safari, IE32).
Curious though, why wouldnt it work.
