Perhaps security settings such as UAC or some of your IE settings such as Protected Mode have been relaxed on the 32 bit system while the 64 bit system still has the higher 'as shipped' settings??
Or the site might be considered a 'trusted site' on one system and not on the other. IE on Vista does some er 'interesting' things when you navigate between sites (including your defalt page) that are in different security zones, which iften results in the connection between Watir and the browser being lost, and a need to re-attach the browser object in yoru code 'e.g. 'nav' in your case) to the actual browser instance running on the system. IE actually has tighter security (anti-cross-site scripting) in this area than FF, but unfortunately while that's better for users, it can be a big PITA for those of us trying to do browser based automation.
