Warning: Page Expired

[Ileen]

I have a strange problem with my back button in ie6. At several websites
(but not all) if I search on something and then choose a link from the
results, I cannot get back to the search results simply by pressing on the
back button. Instead, I get "Warning: Page Expired" when I hit the back
button and then I have to refresh to get back to the search results.

The reason that I think this problem is strange is because it doesn't
happen (at the very same websites) with another account on the same computer
or any new user accounts I create.

For the life of me I can't figure out what is different about my user
accounts. I've used Hi-Jack This, BHO Demon, cleared the browser cache,
checked ie6 settings and can't find any difference between my user account
and the other one on this computer!

Anyone? It started happening about 3 weeks ago.

I'll take a stab at that one. When you go back the post data that you sent
into the server (your search in other words) has to be resent if you're
settings in your temp internet files are set to check for a newer version
with every visit to the page. I'm just poking on this one and hoping that's
the answer. It's the first thing that popped into my head so it may well be
incorrect. I'd check it and see. Open IE, click on tools, options, click on
the settings tab under Temporary Internet Files on the General tab.

Thanks, but it's set to check for new pages "automatically," same as the
other account. Thanks for responding.
