Smile IE 5.5 cannot clear history !

Hi all, I have recently replaced my IE5 installation with 5.5 from a magazine disk.

Initially I just added 5.5 on top of 5 and the 5.01 service pack. But when the pages seemed a bit slow had the bright idea of using the add/remove program to uninstall them all, revert to Windows 98 initial set up then reinstall IE5.5.

The result seemed to improve viewing, and all is generally well. But I cannot understand why I am unable to clear my history using internet tools. I see the history dissapear when I press delete, but as soon as I reselect the history, then everything is still there. I can still delete the history in the Windows/history folder manually, and for now that will do.

I am expecting to upgrade to Windows ME over Xmas, so can I expect this minor problem to be fixed, or am I heading for that eternal dark dungeon known as 'Regedit' !!!

I'm gratefull for any advice you may have. Thanks.
