I've tried the registry fixes that other help sites have shown, (they tell you to save the reg fix file to desktop and then right-click, Merge) but to no avail. They have also suggested to perform a System Restore, but I'm holding off on that until I'm sure there would be no other way.
([not related] Also, for some reason, I was unable to open new tabs and windows on IE8, but a quick Delete Browsing History fixed that. Kinda weird, but do you think it could be related to me downloading the reg fix?)
Thanks to anyone who responds!!!!!
