Some pages can't refresh (TempIntFiles error)

For some reason, some of my pages display old versions
and some links are "clicked" (purple as opposed to blue).
Not all pages, but one is updated VERY frequently, but
hasn't changed on my computer. I have deleted Temporary
Internet files using IE Internet options, Norton
Cleansweep and manually deleting all I could in my
TempIntFiles folder. When I use Norton Fast&Safe cleanup,
there are about 238KB of files it just can't delete, no
matter how many times it tries. Help...
 
What is your cache-checking option set to?
Do you have HTTP 1.1 set?

Try checking Every Visit... in Settings dialog
Alt-T,O,Alt-S,E
and Use HTTP 1.1... in the Advanced options tab
Alt-T,O,Ctrl-Backtab,HT,U


For help with your other issue with the TIF you should have disclosed
your OS. Here are some OS-independent instructions from a previous
post:

Since you are having trouble don't try to clear it with the usual
Internet Options dialog; do it with Internet Properties and
shut down any programs which might be interfering with the
operation, including OE (msimn.exe) and IE (iexplore.exe).
Temporarily shut down your security programs too since some
are known to interfere with the operation.

Internet Properties == Run... control inetcpl.cpl
Clear TIF == Alt-F,D,Enter

In XP you can doublecheck that the TIF is clear at this point
by opening a command window and entering:
cd /d %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5
dir/ad
and verifying that all the subdirectories are gone. If you do an
attrib *
you will see that you have an index.dat and a desktop.ini only.

Actually with a bit of foresight we could simplify and make more
accurate that first command. Before deleting the files open
the View Files... window and copy the location in the Address bar
to your clipboard. Then all you need to do is create the appropriate
cd /d command by pasting that path in and then adding just the
\Content.IE5 part.

If you don't have NTx (my experience) you may find that the index.dat
file size is unchanged. For that case Mike Burgess suggests deleting
the entire folder. Search his posts for delcache for links to more detailed
instructions.


Good luck
