"Visited Link" color change - not working

Problem: Two or 3 days ago, I noticed that my visited-
link color display is not changing. However, the links
on the page that were already visited remain changed. In
particular, this is not working on eBay (OK, shoot me).

Attempted fixes: Checked IE options; correctly set.
Checked with eBay about same; no problems reported.
Reinstalled latest IE and SP (however, didn't uninstall
IE prior to installation; and I believe I was already at
that version with same SP); no difference. Installed
Netscape 7.1; color change WORKS there.

I couldn't tell if "Chez" was indicating the same problem.

What do do? What to do?
 
try clicking tools internet options then settings and
make sure it is set to every visit to page
 
IT WORKED!! I tested one at a time (as a former Web
editor/programmer and good little beta tester!).
Clearing cookies did not work. In fact, IE "remembered"
everything. Shutdown/restart. Cleared history.
Shutdown/restart. Wicked awesome!!!

Thanks, Don!

Deb,
Thanks for the feedback. the MS newsgroups have changed and you don't hear
"Thanks, it worked" as often as you'd like to.
