I thought this thread said "how to clear your browser's acne"

:dohh: I need to learn how to read I think!
 
It is nice explanation. I am used more than one web browser. It is very useful for me. I am appreciated about it. I am glad to share your valuable knowledge.
 
Go to start menu than go on run,Write *temp* there and enter,it will delete cookies of your system...
To clear cache:press Ctrl +shift+delete thanks enter....
 
:nope: I still can't get it to work

Followed the instructions to the letter, and the message still comes up, will have to wait till hubby comes home and he will have to look at it for me.
 
Why is this a sticky thread? This can be easily found anywhere on the net. Is it even required to use this site?
Admin abusing the threads, it seems.
 
Note: When troubleshooting issues with any website, after clearing your browser's cache and cookies, exit your browser completely before attempting to access the site again. In Windows, close all your browser windows; in Mac OS X, quit (Command-q) your browser.
 
Also, if clearing the cache doesnt work, this is what worked for me.

Tools. Internet Options. Advanced. then under Multimedia in the scroll down menu, make sure everything has a check mark by it. Apply. Ok. Then restart computer.
