I’m running IE 6 and nothing is showing up in my history. I haven’t made any changes and the history is set to 10 days. It’s only been doing this for the past two days.’

Can anyone tell me what’s going on?

Hmm… this could be a shot in the dark, but I’ve learned recently that a LOT of IE 6 idiosyncracies are the fault of the browser cache being full… maybe you could try emptying it…

(tools \> internet options \> temporary internet files section \> delete files button)

This may do nothing more than free up some disk space, then again it might solve the problem, as I said-- a shot in the dark.
