My bad, the OP quoted the portable version which lost me

harvey ~ FIREFOX is another browser you can use (personally i use firefox all the time)

If you really must use IE (if you can, its possible its knackered beyond repair) ~
Try running in SAFE MODE

If that works then an add on is causing the problem

If it fails then all I can suggest is attempt to install IE7 in its place

To uninstall ie8 in Windows 7:

To uninstall Internet Explorer 8, follow these steps: Close all programs.
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
Under Programs, click Uninstall a program.
In the tasks pane, click Turn Windows features on or off.
In the list of windows features, clear the check box next to Internet Explorer 8.
You receive a warning message in a pop-up window. Click Yes.

In fact I've used FF, Chrome and IE8, but now prefer Opera.

do you have access to another pc with internet access?

if so the easiest option would be to download the full installer of IE8

i would also download firefox or chrome at the same time and put all the installers on a memory stick then install from there on youre main PC
