Adjust the size of your cache and delete your History and Cookies

Traditionally Internet Explorer has set the size of its temporary internet files folder to a percentage of total disk space. In recent times, with the huge decreases in hard drive capacity, this has led to the case being set to ridiculously large sizes... far too around 1 inch of IE to be able to cope reliably. Web sites may go slow, pictures may stop displaying, hyperlinks may stop working (actually, they haven't stopped working, its just that IE is collapsing under the weight 0f all that saved data), you may see the classic "page cannot be displayed" error... and that's just for starters.

If your cache is set far too large, IE7 will reduce it to 1024MB the first time that you click on the Settings button for Browsing History Settings button, but I have found this is still too large.

Click on IE, Tools, Internet Options, General Tab, Settings



Set your IE cache to between 50 and 250 Meg (I recommend 50 - 100)



Next, delete all temporary internet files, including offline content (IE tools, Internet Options, General tab, Delete button). Delete your IE history and all cookies. Then, restart IE.

How To Modify Cache In Internet Explorer

In computer science, a cache is a collection of data duplicating original values stored elsewhere or computed earlier, where the original data is expensive to fetch (owing to longer access time) or to compute, compared to the cost of reading the cache. In other words, a cache is a temporary storage area where frequently accessed data can be stored for rapid access. Once the data is stored in the cache, it can be used in the position by accessing the cached copy rather than re-fetching or re- computing the original data.

Your cache on your computer stores pages from this site in memory. When you request a page, your computer loads the page from memory and not the most recent copy from our web site. This can cause problems when viewing your account.

To modify your Cache so that your browser loads the most recent copy of a page, please read these steps carefully.
1. Click on Tools,
2. Click on Internet Options...,
3. Click on the General tab,
4. Under the Temporary Internet files section, click the Settings... button,
5. Click Every visit to the page,
6. Click the OK button,
7. Click the OK button in the Internet Options window,
8. Reload the page.
