IE7 history doesn’t update
Found an odd problem with IE7 running on Vista Home Basic (on a new Compaq laptop).
I would go to a few websites, then look at the browser history, and none of the sites I went to, would show in the history.
I try refresh (F5), and generally try changing a few settings, but nothing seems to work… except:
If I shutdown IE7, then I restart it a few seconds later, the browser history is now updated… very strange.
I then try deleting some history items (they don’t disappear), and new websites still won’t appear…
OK, I restart the browser, and the “deletes” and new additions are now visible.
I can’t be sure if this is a Vista “feature”, or if something just went haywire with this particular setup, but the history only updates when IE7 is restarted.
I’ve got no answer to this one… has anyone else noticed this?
Does anyone have a solution?
The solution? Firefox. lol. I haven’t noticed but the only time I use IE is to check for compatibility with updates.
About the only thing IE is good for is unsuitable for print.
Ditch it and get Firefox.
