    Now, I know I had a topic on here about my browsing history and how I wanted to restore it. This is a little different. All of a sudden, when I check the websites and webpages that I look up, theres nothing there. This started on Saturday. I went to check my browsing history to see what sites Ive been on and there was nothing there. It shows the history from 1,2 and 3 weeks ago fine, that hasnt disappeared yet, all the sites Ive been on are not shown. Can someone please help me?

      Browser?

      You've lost me. Browser? Are you asking what browser I have? I have Internet Explorer 9. I uploaded it a couple of weeks ago and it was fine until Saturday.

          I uploaded Internet Explorer 9 a few weeks ago and it was ok until about Saturday where nothing is showing up in my history section.

          I think you mean you downloaded and installed Internet Explorer 9.

          Go to Internet Explorer 9's options, on the General tab, make sure "Delete browsing history on exit" is unchecked.

          If that doesn't work, try resetting IE9's settings:

            Well, I tried to reset IE9's settings by using the link you gave me and it didnt work. I lost whatever browsing history I had from 3 weeks ago and when I check to see what websites I have been on today, nothing shows up. What should I do next?

            You didn't say if you checked this or not.

              Uninstall IE9 and then do a reinstall. It sounds like something maybe corupted.

                Well, I have fixed it!!!  ;D ;D I got the browsing history to work. What I did was I clicked on tools, internet options and where it says browsing history, I clicked delete. Then I believe I checked off cookies, history and something else and it worked. The only thing is that I wish I was able to get back the history I lost for the past 3 weeks. I tried system restore but it never works for me.

                  Now Im having the same problem with my browsing history again. It just started today. I have a question. Its been about a week since I cleared my browsing history but I have A TON of stuff in browsing history. A lot of youtube videos and a lot of searches from different websites. Could it be that there is way too much stuff on there already after a week?

                  I have IE 9 and deleted just about everything I could. I deleted my cookies, form data, activeX, etc., my add-ons everything but my browsing history. Do I have to delete the browsing history again?

                  You don't have CCleaner installed to do there is a delete History checkbox in there?

                    Ok, well I deleted my browsing history and it worked. Everything is gone but when I tried my browsing history after I deleted it, it worked. My question is why does it do that? Why do I have to keep deleting my browsing history? Is there anyway I can get around it? Is there anyway I can keep my browsing history w/o deleting it because its a pain because I lose all my sites and files.
