FireRandySanders Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 I've been using Firefox, so this hasn't been a huge issue, but my IE @ home is useless at the moment: when I launch IE, it pulls up fine. If I go to a page that I have never visited, all is fine. If I go to a page that I have visited, then I am looking at a stored version. Here are my settings and what I have done: I've ran Window Washer ~ still does it In internet options, I've deleted my cookies and stored files. Also, in the setttings it is set to check for newer versions of a page at every visit (also tried automatically). What in the heck am I missing? Not that I am missing IE or anything, but I just hate the thought of a 'dead soft' taking up hard drive space Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 I've had this problem with XP. Seems the only thing that worked was to wait until the next day to get the updated info. Never did resolve it. Sorry can't offer a solution. Quote
Madmanmcp Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 Maybe its stuck and needs a little push. Try these. under Internet Options: delete cookies delete files clear history under Settings lower the amount of disk space to use to zero now close out IE and reboot computer start IE and go back and reset the disk space to the amount you had before or a reasonable number for your available space see if that clears it up. If not try clicking refresh on the pages to clear the old ones out. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 Thanks Bob, but when I had the problem I did all those things. Also refresh did nothing. My problem went away when I got a new desktop machine. Now I only use a 1meg cache on my machine since I have broadband. Quote
Madmanmcp Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 My problem went away when I got a new desktop machine. LOL Sounds like an expensive solution, but I guess you do what ya gotta do Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 LOL Sounds like an expensive solution, but I guess you do what ya gotta do Oh, that wasn't the reason for getting a new destop! <_> I just wanted something new. Quote
FireRandySanders Posted May 14, 2004 Author Posted May 14, 2004 sorry for the delay guys (been out of town for a bit). I ended up having to contact m$ and, LOL, their solution was to download and reinstall. :Nerd: Quote
