Hi all,

I've been experiencing recent problems with Internet Explorer 5.5 running on
Windows 98SE - it no longer records visited pages - the History worked fine
up until last weekend, but since then no visited pages are listed - when the
History viewer is opened, it will list the days of the week so far, but
actually opening a day reveals no pages :-/ Can anyone help? I'm completely
lost here!

The (very well) hidden index.dat in the History folder is probably corrupt.
Try deleting the whole folder.
