I can't delete my browsing history?

I have IE 8. I click on tools, internet options, then delete. It pops up with what I want to delete and I click temp. internet files, cookies, and history, then I click delete. Another box pops up that says deleting browsing history. It says temp. internet files, then switches to cookies, then to history. Once it hits history it NEVER stops! That little box has been deleting history for 12 hours now! So I finally hit cancel. NOw it says canceling, and the papers are still flying across, and the task bar is still showing it's still working, but it will not cancel.

What is going on, and how can I fix this, it is taking up all my memory! Thanks!

Update:

Honestly I don't know how to "switch to firefox" lol

    Dude, first of all, get rid of IE. Download Chrome or Firefox and uninstall IE. You'll be fine after getting rid of IE. :)
