Website refreshing

[Deanne]

I'm having an issue I have a couple of computers with
internet access, using windows 98 and updated to internet
explorer 6.0. Now these computers do not update all the
websites that the users go into. For example: www.cnn.com
or www.msn.com all update to today date, there are a
couple of other like www.basketball.on.ca that does not -
why? I've checked and they are set up to automatically
update and I've deleted all the temp. files and cookies
and the history and nothing.
any ideas of what else I can check for?

Hi Deanne

Sometimes the History folder can become corrupt, try the following and see
if it helps:

For W98 (W98se) proceed as follows as per Sandi's site:
http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/answers_8.htm#deltree

1) Start>Shutdown>Re-start in MS-DOS mode
2) Wait for Mouse to be recognized, and for the system to stabilize.
3) At the prompt of C:\> type the words: "Deltree History" (Note: there is
a space between the two. Do not use any " quotation marks)
5) press enter
6) A confirmation request appears (Y/N)
7) Type: "Y" and press enter (no quotation marks)
8) Another prompt will appear (Y/N)
9) Type: "Y" and press enter.
10) Hit Ctrl-Alt-Del to close out of the DOS session and to re-boot in
normal mode.

The same process may be followed for your Temporary Internet Files as well.
This will create a new Index.dat file free of corruption and sized at 32 KB.
In that case the command line to use will be "Deltree Tempor~1"

Proceed slowly and carefully, noting that each command and instruction is
followed.

IF you've been using any other method of cleaning files and stuff out of
the Content.IE5 folder other than the use of IE Options>delete files>delete
all off-line content> OK>OK out. Stop doing that. The aforementioned
process of using IE Options is the only safe and prescribed way of
cleaning. (other than the DOS Deltree command)

or..................

To create a new History Forlder

Or try installing TweakUI.

If these steps do not resolve your problem, please post back to this thread
with the details and any error messages.

Hope this helps
