My Internet Explorer history is missing

[Harvey Segal]

For a while now there has been no history
(of sites visited) in my browser IE 6.0

The "Days to keep pages in history"
figure is still set (at 20).

Any ideas please ?

Thanks
Harvey

20 days?
That's a long time. Do you really use any of the history?
How can you remember sites you visited back 20 days?
What about the size of 20 days history? Might want to
consider changing to smaller amount for the sake of speed.

Harvey,
This can be caused by the ActiveX Control filters in McAfee AntiVirus. If
you disable the "Active X Controls" filter under the Internet Filters in
VirusScan 6.0 the IE History should work properly.

Your History folder may be damaged.
See: How To Delete the Internet Explorer Temporary Internet Files:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm
Note: Free History Eraser from
http://smartprotector.com/eraser/free-history-eraser.htm will delete the
History folder and a new one will be created when you restart.
