    If you installed Vista x64 you get two versions of IE7. A x32 (x86) and x64 bit. There's also an IE7 for XP. Usually when you download IE7 MS will detect your OS version and download appropriately. Have you tried to unistall the previous version?

    Downloading the Add-on "IE Tab" for Firefox will allow you to switch the rendering engine for any tabs of your choice. Using this you could get those internet banking pages working in firefox whenever you need them.
