Since connecting to ADSL no history is available even though the folders for
days etc. are created and I have opted to save history for 30 days. Using
98SE. All help much appreciated.

Hi,
History problems can be caused by the ActiveX Control filters in McAfee
AntiVirus. If you disable the "Active X Controls" filter under the Internet
Filters in VirusScan the IE History should work properly.

Or... Your History folder may be damaged.
Free History Eraser from
http://smartprotector.com/eraser/free-history-eraser.htm will delete the
History folder and a new one will be created when you restart.

Or the History folder can be deleted manually:

Hope this helps,

Many thanks Don. Will give all that a try.

This seems to have worked for me. I haven't had history since upgrading to
sp1 (win2k_pro) last summer.

I like to keep a few months worth of history and it's just been a real pain
in the a** since the upgrade broke everything. I have Mcafee 4.5.1 running
and I just turned off checking for ActiveX controls. Voila-now there's
something in the history pane.

Even the autocompletions were saving less than half a dozen choices. I
haven't been online long enough to see if that's corrected yet.

What changed in ie6sp1 that was f***ed up by the virus scanner checking the
activeX controls?

I'd much prefer if it would block macromedia checking for new versions...

Ciao
