Solve : Need urgent help...please!?

Answer»

Ok so I opened up Internet Explorer History, and I noticed that when I click on a some of the dates a few days back, it doesn't really expand them correctly. Like, instead of listing the video titles of the videos I watched on youtube, it just displays "v=". Usually when you go to History on IE, and go to youtube, it lists the video titles for the videos you watched...but mine is different.

This isn't only for youtube, it is for FORUMS too, and instead of displaying the topic title, it just says "Index" for all of the pages.

Here are a few pictures of how things are right now, and how they are SUPPOSED to be:

-And here are the forums, see how they DON'T list the topic titles, and just say index...For example, instead of "index" for this topic I'm making, it would normally say "Need urgent help...please!"



-Also a quick thing- All of this is for my Internet History BEFORE July 3rd, everything after that seems to be in normal format lol, it's just the days before that which are mssed up.

-Also, when I use some of those "Internet History Manager" tools, they don't display anything before July 4th...programs off the internet such as "IE History Manager" or "Dutch Duck Utilities", they don't display anything before July 4th...why is that??

-I also don't want to do a re-install or anything, because I actually want to go back and visit a few pages still, so please don't suggest anything like that because I don't want to remove anything =/

Thanks a lot!Think that I would run CCleaner: http://www.ccleaner.com/ making sure that you have everything checked under Internet Explorer (except Auto complete History, but check it if you want) and at least Temp Files under System. Any other entries are ok on the Cleaner tab. Don't run the Registry scanner unless you understand the potential risks.
Also be aware that this will wipe out your cookies unless you use Options to exclude certain cookies.

Also run a complete virus and spyware scan.

The registry scanner is perfectly SAFE. I would run it a few times.Won't checking the stuff under CCleaner delete my Internet History? It sounds like it by the DESCRIPTION of the buttons and stuff on there, I need to keep my Internet History =/ Will it delete any of that?Quote from: Compguy123 on July 08, 2008, 05:43:07 PM

Yes to your question.

Sorry - missed that you don't want to delete. Disregard my suggestion for CCleaner.

I can't help. You can keep the history unticked.

@Carbon: I have seen posts on the CCleaner Forum where people claim that the CCleaner Registry tool has messed up their systems; I agree that the CCleaner approach is very conservative and I have not had any problems - I'm just reluctant to recommend the use of any registry tool.Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on July 08, 2008, 05:53:23 PM

Nothing difficult is ever easy! Anyyyyyyy idea on how to fix this lol =/ Or other methods, like transferring files from IE to mozilla or something, what other programs also allow this? Like is it POSSIBLE to do transferring from IE ---> MSN, or other programs too?

This is mainly a big deal because when my Internet History Managers show this stuff, they don't show anything before July 4th =/ They used to show it though!Quote from: Compguy123 on July 08, 2008, 06:39:31 PM

If 'fix' means to 'recover' the data missing from the IE history, I'm afraid that I must retain my defeatist attitude, not because of lack of desire to help, but, because I just don't know.

However, I would refer you to this: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/iehv.html, other forum members and to Mother Google.

Best of luck!
