History folders will not expand in Internet Explorer...does anyone know what's wrong?

[Andrei D.]

For some time now, I've been trying to access my internet browsing history on Internet Explorer...I click on the "History" tab and cascade the list of folders/sites I've visited that day, but once I click on a folder itself which should display the pages of a particular site, nothing appears -- the "Pages visited at..." brackets never expand, even when I right-click and click the "Expand" option for the folder. The only one that seems to work each day is the "Computer" folder. Has anyone had this problem and/or knows what I could do to fix it, please? Thank you.
@Ocean Eagle: No; all settings are at normal. They should be, anyway. And IE is decent and came standard with my computer, so it might as well be working at optimum efficiency if I must have it.

Have you got Explorer set to delete your history every time you close it down?
Why don't you get a decent Browser like Firefox or Chrome?
