Got Win7 64-bit installed on my Inspiron and I have two different IE entries
in the Start/All Programs menu.

Bog standard IE and IE (64-bit).

What's the difference? The BBC website, for example, displays identically
in both?

The 64-bit version of Windows 7 ships with 32-bit and a 64-bit versions
of Internet Explorer 8. Most casual users use the 32-bit version because
there's no Flash (yet) and almost no ActiveX (yet) for 64-bit.

Yeah, I'm getting rather tired with the "this page has been displayed in
compatibility mode, a problem with this webpage........."

Nothing to do with a buggy browser then?
