Clearing the Cache in America Online

You may be having trouble seeing pages such as Live In Play^® or Live Headlines with your AOL browser. Because of an overwhelming demand from our subscribers, we have implemented pages that refresh automatically. Third party browsers (Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, for example) display the pages correctly. Third party browsers can be found at the Microsoft or Netscape Web sites.

You should clear (or "purge") your disk cache on a regular basis, especially if you are having problems seeing Web pages. While a healthy cache can speed up your Web surfing, you might start to get problems when the cache begins to fill up.

The procedure for clearing your disk cache will depend on your Web browser. If your America Online software does not use Microsoft Internet Explorer, click Preferences under the Members menu at the top of the screen, then click WWW, then the Advanced button. Finally, click the Purge Cache button.

If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer as your Web browser, click Options and select the Advanced tab. Then find the "Temporary Internet Files" section, and click the Settings button. Finally, click the Empty Folder button.

Your cache should now be cleared. You should always receive the latest updates each time you visit a page at Briefing.com.
