I’m using Internet Explorer 8 in my Windows 2008 server; I can’t open specific websites but if I log in as the Administrator, it works well. Can you please tell me why it’s doing that way?

I suggest you to do a trial error check distinguish if the issue is on the website or in Internet Explorer 8. You do not need to uninstall internet explorer 8 just to error check your system.

There are websites that is still not compatible with Internet Explorer 8. This may caused by Java Script and or other add-ons needed to make the website works properly.
Adobe Flash Player also is the possible caused because it needs this software running up to date. Do check the website using the other browser and if this works with Google Chrome, Firefox and or other type of browser then Internet Explorer 8 needs to be investigated.
Go to Tools
Then Internet Options
Click on Connections tab
Then LAN settings
Uncheck all the boxes
Use a proxy server should not be check
Use automatic configuration script should not be check
Click Ok and close the Internet Explorer
Try to re-open the websites back
