Subject: Re: <OT> Need help: browser has stopped remembering which pages I've visited

Go up one level in this thread


Some suggestions.

Go to control panel and check out the internet options (the globe with the
checkmark). Check if you have told your browser to keep the history files
directory for a sufficient amount of days.

Also check the "colours" button, and check "use windows colors". It might be the
links aren't "coloured" in the right way anymore.

As a last resort: visit some pages. Then check if the folder c:\windows\history
contains URL's you visited. If it does, there's something wrong with the screen
output, if not, the directory might be corrupted. Or maybe that goes for both
instances.

Restart the computer, go to the dos prompt only (hitting f8 and to the bootup
menu) and type:

deltree /y c:\windows\history

<return>

Now start your PC again and Windows98 will create you a new (hopefully) correct
directory for your URL history.
