I am anable to keep any IE History, only see todays,
until open next day, then nothing shows. Have deleted
all History, but has not helped, checked and definitely
says keep for 15 days, to no avail?
Can anyone suggest why I can't keep any history, other
than that days?

Check your IE settings - go to Tools > Internet Options and look at the
History section. Set the "Days to keep pages in history" to 15 and see if
that helps.

Woops - I missed the part where you said that you've verified you have your
settings set to 15 days currently... sorry about that. Ignore my post. =)

IIRC it's caused by a recent MS update combined with an OLDER version of
Anti-Virus program. Update Virus program version or remove Update and
the problem disappears.

I have seen this behavior caused by McAfee and from the date and time being
incorrect. Checkpoints and Suggestions:

Check to be sure that your date and time is correct. Also, if you are using
McAfee, this will help:

McAfee gave this solution to the bug where VirusScan 6 stops your
Internet Explorer History file working.

Open VirusScan console
Select "Pick a task..."
Select "Change my VirusScan settings"
Select "Configure VShield background scanning"
Select "Customise your VShield settings"

Select the "Internet Filter" icon from the icons down the left hand side On
the "Detection" tab, in the 'Applet filters' section, remove the tick next
to "ActiveX Controls".

If this is not the case, run this edit:

Prevent IE History from Being Removed - Undo (Line 101)

To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it
and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by
right clicking on the file and selecting Edit.

Note: If you are using the Personalized Favorites Menu, Internet Explorer
automatically hides site that are rarely visited from the Favorites menu.
