The HISTORY button on my standard toolbar brings up the
history view, but when I select:
View by Date - It will only show the dates (Today,
Yesterday, etc) but will not show any sites visited when
the day is clicked.
View by Site - Nothing at all shows.
View by Most Visited - It shows a lot of entries, but all
of them prefaced with my ISP (marz.com@http//www...)which,
when clicked cannot be found because of the preface.
View by Order Visited Today - Gives sites in order, but
acts like the above with ISP preface.

I deleted IE 6.0 and tried with 5.5 but problem is still
the same. I am considering reloading with 6.0, but afraid
I am only spinning my wheels.
 
Lee,
Possibly your History folder is corrupt:
[XP\2K]
Log on as Administrator and delete the desired <username> folder(s).
[example]
"C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\HISTORY"

Mike -
Thanks for your help, however I have encountered another
problem. When I boot with DOS and try to go to the C:
drive I get message "Invalid drive specification". I can
go to the other drives B, D, E, etc. with no problems.
