    I have IE 7 with xp home and when i click history,
    the drop down menu appears then i click "today ",
    no problem. When i click the previous day,
    nothing happens.
    (i thought I had a bad memory:eek:)
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    What is your setting for 'Days to keep pages in History'?

    Internet Options > Browsing History - Settings?

    Corruption in the History folder is not uncommon and retaining 25 - 30 days History at the most is recommended.

    I suggest you empty your History file - Internet Options > Browsing History - Delete - History and see if that resolves the problem.

    Hi cpyou. You can also try updating to Internet Explorer 8 and see if that solves your problem.

    It could also be that you have a 'security' type program that deletes your browsing history on a daily basis.

    I have done all that except upgrade to IE 8. Still nothing.
    The computer is almost a year old and it is to go into the
    shop for its maintainance so maybe they will have the
    time to check that out.
    I bought the extended warranty so its covered:).
    Thanks for now.
    (I will go over those security settings again, that was a good suggestion)
