My history folder has stopped responding correctly in IE 5.5 It comes up as a list of url, and can not be viewed by date, sorted in any way, or run a search on. Does anyone know how to remedy this?

SYMPTOMS
The menu bar in Internet Explorer, which contains the View and Search buttons, no longer appears in the History Explorer bar (or pane), and the History pane contains an item called History.IE5 instead of your Internet Explorer browsing history.

CAUSE
This behavior occurs in the following situation:

You open the History pane in Internet Explorer.

-and-

You restart your computer without closing the History pane or Internet Explorer.

WORKAROUND
To workaround this behavior, quit, and then restart Internet Explorer. If this does not resolve the problem, you may need to reinstall Internet Explorer.

I haven't tried reinstalling yet. I was saving that for a last ditch effort. Restarting ie doesn't help at all.
I have a feeling it has something to do with user permissions, and mine got screwed up and some point.

try going to Add/Remove Programs, find IE5.5 click on it once then click on the Add/Remove button & select fix IE.
make sure your internet connection is off.
