IE Refresh?

Post by **corpse** » Sun Oct 02, 2005 4:30 pm

On one computer here I have msn.com as the homepage and it has been the same page now for about 3 days. I have refreshed, but it stays the same.

On another computer, I just opened IE and the home page is completely different content than this one. Is this strange or what?

CTRL-F5?

That worked, but after I did it, I clicked refresh and it went back to the old page. So I closed out IE and then reopened and it opens to the old page. If I ctr f5, it refreshes properly and goes to the new page content.

WTF is going on?

Something wrong with your IE cache. Perhaps it's full, or perhaps part of it has been marked read only.

Either way, empty the cache.

Deleted temp files and it is fixed. This has nevefr happened to me before so I didnt know what was wrong.

Thanks you

Just opened IE again and it is back to the old version of the page content. I have gone to tools, options, delete temp files. This is clearing the cache, right?

Yes, it is.

iirc MSN.com doesn't auto-refresh.

It normaly does. It just kept going to an old page this one time. Even after I cleared the cache.

A reboot after the cache clearing seems to have fixed whatever was makeing it act retarded.

Thanks
