Hi,

You may have to directly delete the appropriate files.
Assuming you are using Windows XP, you may try the
following:

--

To delete the History folder and index.dat (XP)

Log on as Administrator and delete the desired <username>
folder and reboot.
(or log on as another user that has Administrator
privileges)
Example: "C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local
Settings\HISTORY"

Hi,
With no IE windows open, try clearing the History from Control Panel>
Internet Options> General> Clear History.
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=323687

Or, you might need to delete the damaged History folder. A new History
folder will be created on restart.
See: http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm

Or, another program might be locking your history.

Hope this helps,
Don
