No History

[Paul]

Does anyone know what would cause my history to
dissappear? The days show up in the side bar, but when I
click on them they are empty.

Paul,
Possibly your History folder is corrupt:

Log on as Administrator and delete the desired <username> folder(s).
[example]
"C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\HISTORY"
