PAge has Expired

[ZoSo]

This just started happening..when I click the Back button while browsing, I
get the message below:

Warning: Page has Expired The page you requested was created using
information you submitted in a form. This page is no longer available. As a
security precaution, Internet Explorer does not automatically resubmit your
information for you.

To resubmit your information and view this Web page, click the Refresh
button.


Then I have to refresh and click the retry button and the page will load.
Have I inadvertently changed some setting that is causing this or is it just
the webpage?

When you are using IE to view various Web sites, the Back and Forward
buttons on the tool bar may become unavailable.

Here's a bit of information that explains what can happen to cause this.

Grayed out Buttons and Menu Items that Don't Work:

It is a convention in many Windows programs and in the popular browsers to
"gray out" items that currently aren't applicable. So, if you think your
BACK button isn't working, it may be because in that particular instance it
isn't applicable. For example, if you just opened your browser and this was
the first page you viewed, then there isn't a page to go back to, so the
BACK button is grayed out.

Is it only a few sites, or all of them? Is the site or page opening in a
new window? Opening in a new widow can disable the Back button. In all
dominant browsers, webmasters using the <a target="_blank"> tag to force a
link to open in a new window breaks the Back button. The new window does
not retain the browser history of the previous window, so the "Back" button
is disabled. It does sound as it this might be what is happening on these
sites.

Try using the Refresh button and see if that lets you go back.

Windows version?

It's probably the page, ZoSo.

The issue can occur if the previous page contain some secure information like
by clicking back button it will go to your e-mail account, which should not
be to make your accoutn secure.

I'm sorry I neglected that, it's Win XP Pro. I thougt maybe it's just the
page, but it seems to be happening more now, so I thought maybe I had some
security setting changed without me knowing it like McAfee or something
making a change. thanks for your help
