Internet Explorer 8 Problems

I got IE8 in automatic update about a week ago. Since then, I cannot access folders or do tasks. I tried going to internet options and deleting files, cookies, etc. and it wouldn't let me. Today, I tried downloading a free song to ITunes and got error message: folder is locked. access denied. I tried clearing disk space and got access denied. Why is this happening? Should I uninstall it and go back to 7? Help! I have vista business pro 6.0.

I HATE IE :p TBH I would try Opera or Firefox.Google Chrome is super fast / lite but not many plugins that I know of.They are slowly making a few.If you don't use many plugs Chrome rox.

You can uninstall that IE8 and try this standalone from here:
