Hello and Help ---

* Using XP (home), svc pack 2, w/all updates current. I protect with
Kerio. Grisoft free AVG and use Adaware, A2, and Spybot frequently.

Using Explorer, ver 6, while surfing some news and other URLs, are always
dated Oct 28, 2006.

The date and text content NEVER changes from day to day,

BUT! -- on other news URLs, they are accurately and current lee dated. My
Emails are dated OK.

Even more mysterious is my 'Weather Pulse' software, within the program,
some weather locations are stuck on Oct 28th, while others are not.

More fascination occurs with FireFox, whose URL locations are NOT affected
by this time phenomena. I prefer using Explorer, but I have this problem
:((.

Any fixes, thoughts?? Thanks in advance.

It sounds like you are viewing cached files. I would definitely start by
clearing the browser cache. (Tools/Internet Options General Tab / Delete
files).

HI -- thanks for the response:

All cached files zapped - all my temp directories were scoured. Computer
has been rebooted a few times..

I DELETED the affected files from my Favorites and reinstalled them --> no
change.

Drat! 'Groundhog Day ' of Oct 28 for the cursed URLs still persists.

Anything else to do?.

Very strange. What kind of Internet connection do you have? Is there a
proxy server involved?
 
How about using refresh button? Does it reload? Also, do the
following:

1) Tools, Internet Options, Advanced {this is the tab on the dialog box}

2) Click Restore Defaults

3) Now scroll down until you reach Security

4) Click on "Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is
closed"

5) Click ok

6) Close the browser (may take sometime for the first time because all
temporary files are being deleted)

Can you provide the website address that is still showing as 28/10/2006
so that we can try it on our systems. Alternatively, go to:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/

and see if yu get latest webpage - dated Sunday 12th November 2006.

Nice try folks - but still no go. Strange happenings, eh?

No biggie - as I mentioned, I still can surf with another browser.

Thanks again , Chuck---
