First you need to figure out what "this" is.
E.g. clearly something is wrong but without doing some analysis
I doubt if you will be able to find a satisfactory "fix".
E.g. is it a presentation issue or a storage issue?
(Hmm.. this is starting to have a ring of deja vu...)

Yes. It appears that there is a unresolved problem with the presentation
of such large History caches. I started speculating that mystery value
CacheLimit might have something to do with it but I suspect now that it doesn't.
In that case perhaps there is another unused and undocumented tuning value
which could be discovered using a RegMon trace?

Apparently this will be at least the third time that I have suggested the poster
experiment to figure out how the History's Extensible Cache really works... ; )


Good luck

Robert,

I did attempt to search before posting, so I apologize for your having
to address this matter again.

However, since I didn't encounter this with IE5 or IE6, all of my
queries included IE7, which is where the problem began for me. I did
not notice the previous thread in my results.

Having said that, I read the entire thread without comprehending much
of it.

I thought I had clearly defined what 'this' is and I have no idea what
a RegMon trace is or what Extensible Cache means.

So please except my apologies again for having bothered you.

Mike
