I'm using IE7 with XP Pro. Lots of horsepower. Plenty of RAM. When I visit
a site with a lot of advertising on it -- such as a newspaper -- and click to
a second page and then try to click the back button to return to the home
page, I find myself clicking 3 or 4 or 5 or even more times before I get back
to the home page. It APPEARS that it is somehow associated with the ads that
have loaded and even the advertising space for those ads that have been
blocked. (One ad or ad space seems to disappear with every back button
click). What's up with that? It makes the back button essentially useless.
Is there a setting I'm missing that can make that button crisp again? (I
don't recall having this problem with IE6.)

Hi,
Workaround- Use the down arrow on the Back button to bypass the other pages.
I haven't heard of another solution to this problem.

Hope this helps,

Thanks, Don. Your note seems to confirm that this is a known issue. But is
there really no setting somewhere that can prevent ads from being treated by
IE as pages? Anyone out there know how to do this in a more "permanent" way?

Hi,
Are you running a HOSTS file?
A HOSTS file may be causing this. If so there's a possible workaround.

Thanks, Don, but I actually have tried that (ad.doubleclick.net, etc.), but
had no luck with overcoming the problem. Certainly the description at that
link is a perfect description of the problem I am experiencing, so it is very
disappointing that it doesn't seem to work. Any thought about why? (P.S.
All that said, I wish a knew what "running a HOSTS file" means. What is a
"HOSTS file" and what does it do?)
