Hi calan
You don't provide the version of Windows or IE you are using (IE6 SP1 or
SP2), thus, I can only offer general information: Try the following and see
if it helps:
Turn off the ActiveX part of McAfee's Internet Filter
If you have McAfee AV running:
McAfee gave this solution to the bug where VirusScan 6 stops your Internet
Explorer History file working. Hope it is of some help:
Open VirusScan console
Select "Pick a task..."
Select "Change my VirusScan settings"
Select "Configure VShield background scanning"
Select "Customise your VShield settings"
Select the "Internet Filter" icon from the icons down the left hand side On
the "Detection" tab, in the 'Applet filters' section, remove the tick next
to "ActiveX Controls".
You will need to reboot to allow the changes to take effect.
or..............
It could be that the History folder has become damaged or corrupted, try
deleting the Favorites folder in your User folder, then reboot and a new one
will be created.
Hope this helps
