Back Button(arrow) trouble

S

slick1

When I click-on the back button(arrow) in IE7 browser, it sometimes takes
two or more clicks to go back one page. Sometimes one click will take it
back three or four pages, etc. Sometimes after one or several clicks and
waiting and waiting, all pages are gone and I'm back on my Homepage.
I have ran Malwarebytes, Ad-Aware, Avast, SuperAnti-Spyware, Windows
Defender, have all Microsoft Up-dates; everything is clean.
System: - Acer 2450 laptop
- Windows XP, Home-SP3
- Explorer 7

*I Googled this problem, but found no definite solutions. Hoping someone
here can point me in the right direction. Thanks!

What happens when you try with a different mouse?

Just wanted to mention that sometimes there's a lag of a few seconds when
hitting the "back" arrow


So just try hitting it one time and waiting a few seconds

In reply to Malke: I was using a wireless mouse, changes over to an old
wired mouse I had; same problem. Went out and bought a new wireless mouse;
same problem again.

In reply to Philo: Even if I hit the back button once and wait, there is a
variable time lag. Sometimes the page will back-up right away, sometimes
it will take up to several minutes. Then sometimes the process will just
quit trying to back-up and stay on the current page or take everything back
to my Homepage.
Thanks for your reply's.

Select Start, Control Panel, Mouse, Properties and look at the various
tabs.

Check Event Viewer for errors in the System log.

Have a look in the System and Application logs of Event Viewer and
post copies of any Error or Warning Report appearing after an attempt to
restart. Please note all Reports have a date and time to help you relate
to what has happened on screen previously.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the meaning
of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and Description
are important.

HOW TO: View and Manage Event Logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308427/en-us

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event
Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of
the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from
Event Viewer.

Hope this helps.

Hello,
Check the recent pages dropdown list (mext to foward-back buttons),
sometimes a ad will have links listed.
Even with a pop-up stopper the ad link will show in the list.
Clicking on the link below the ad link will open the page.
This may be the cause of the first problem listed.
For other problems.
If phishing filter is set to auto change to off, located in tools/ internet
options/ advance.
If IE7 can be removed then reinstalled, this may help.
If doing this remember to export your favorites.
take care.
