corrupt history file??

[Guest]

when going to different sites, clicking on url....recently my IE history file
is not updating. so i guess that it must be corrupt, must i delete it or can
it be repaired? or am i on the wrong track??

OK, try this. Open IE and then click on the history icon. Make sure you
change the history view to show "by date". Type in a web address that is
not in your history file for "today". When the site loads, the history
should update within a few seconds with the new site. If it does not, it
may well be corrupt. Best to purge your browsing history - it'll be much
quicker than trying to repair a propriety database file. You can actually
view the database but its not very easy to do, why would you bother - just
delete the history cache and start again!
