History is not being kept! Help!

[mesgs]

My Internet Options says keep history for 20 days but at days end the history is gone.  History is there for only one day. 

Also my cookies and temporary internet files are there for one day only.  Why?
I always have to logon to everything when it used to keep my logon id (cookie).

Please help me.

I run XP Service Pack I  and recently changed providers.  I downloaded Mediacom's security package (CA).  I used to have Norton but it expired and it is no longer on my pc.  I am not running more than 1 antivirus.

The other day some pcdoctor thing popped up and I ran it....told me I had a lot of registry problems etc and then wanted to charge me to download the cleanup program.  I deleted the program from my pc.  Perhaps this made a change.

Is there a Microsoft program or someother than I can purchase that will clean up registry errors on a pc?  I would like to run a prgram that will clean up errors.  Is there one?

I'm not familiar with Mediacom's protection package but i would bet it's set to clear history; cookies and Browser history every 24 hours...
Not exactly a good thing.
Check your settings in the MediaCom program itself.

i would reccommend you install Service pack 2. but it's totally up to you.

this link will only work if you're running and english version of windows.

now to get back on topic.

do you have any cleaning programs installed? like window washer or ccleaner.

because if you've set them to clean each time you shutdown your computer, it will erase your internet history.
