One solution is STOP USING INTERNET EXPLORER!
Try an alternative, i suggest Mozilla Firefox. You will learn to love it :P Tabbed browsing, a host of other features and it's not by M$. Get it from www.getfirefox.com.
To install, try logging onto another user account and downloading the installation file. Save it in your shared folder, log on with the troublesome account and install.
Happy surfing :)
