>Dont understand it but it worked.

You download a lot. These machines - XP - are good, but occasionaly you have to throw out the rubbish.

This problem is years old, and Jackclarks solution is the right one, you obviously didnt understand what he said.

Clear internet history, simple as that

paulr

Still a problem.

tools-internet options then i delete files AND delete cookies plus offline content.It only works when i also move the temp internet folder but only for a day or so.

Its so annoying!!!!!!!!!!!

Use firefox

Firefox is cack. A properly setup PC with IE will give you years of proper internet browsing.

I've used IE on my current XP system for 3 years now without a single problem or re-install, unlike Firefox which cant even hadnle cookies properly FFS!!

Jack's fix is correct, but your issue is that you have some hidden directories in your temp internet files folder that a simple delete files command does not delete. Browsing to the correct directory under windows explorer & then manually deleting will work.

A good practice is to reduce the size of your temp internet file folder. You only really need it to be 80mb.

save it as bitmap, open it in paint save it as jpeg, delete bitmap version
doesn't anser y it wouldn't, but its a way round it

Oh right - i've never had a problem with it. The odd site is badly coded, but usually displays if a bit weird - in extreme cases I can always right click and show in IE.

No matter how well the system is set up, there are still problems with using IE - like the fact it lets sites open 1000000 windows when u try and exit and then more open etc.

Also, I notice from my webstats that more and more ppl are using Firefox. IE. used to get something like 85%:
MS Internet Explorer No 52605 65.9 %
Mozilla/FireFox No 25050 31.4 %
