Lost favourites in IE

2004-04-09 Thread John Carlson 
Dear list
Since about the 1/4 I have lost all of my favourites, even Hotbar, in IE5.
Even the ones I put back in disappear if I restart my Imac333. Could not
download Virex 6 update as it would keep having an error. Eventually
downloaded it through a thumb drive but the update did not find any viruses
or trojans. Anybody got any ideas please?

I've seen that happen when the disk is 100% full, but it's more commonly
caused by corrupt application preferences or disk corruption.

Run disk first aid from a CD, and verify your disk. Also try completely
removing the IE prefs (this _will_ lose all your bookmarks and
settings). I suggest making a backup of the prefs as a stuffit file
before deleting them - just in case.
