cache

I have a feeling that my cache is not working properly. It takes a long time forweb files to return, after clicking the back button.
how can I check the cache, or repair if necessary??
can it be a soft- or hardware problem??

Hi,

Maybe you are talking about Internet Explorer ?


In this case delete manually the content of c:\windows\Temporary Internet Files after closing IE.

The IE cache is notorious for deleting recently added pages. In most cases you're better of configuring your browser for your ISP proxy. See the 'help' or 'support' pages on their website for details.
Another option you may want to enable if you are using IE 5.5 or 6, I believe:

TOOLS > INTERNET OPTIONS > ADVANCED > SECURITY > EMPTY TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES FOLDER WHEN BROWSER IS CLOSED

Effectively, this should keep your cache "clean" everytime you exit IE.
