How to clear your cache

If you're using Netscape:

  • Up top in the pull-down menus (File, Edit, etc.), click "Edit", then "Preferences."
  • Find "Advanced." Click the "+" sign in front of the word "advanced." You'll see "Cache, Proxies, etc." Click "Cache."
  • On the right you'll see, buttons labeled "Clear Memory Cache" and "Clear Disk Cache." First, click "Clear Memory Cache." When the "?" dialog appears click "OK." Then click "Clear Disk Cache."
  • When the "?" dialog appears, click "OK." Click "OK" again to close the cache dialog box.
  • This will clear all old info from your browser and the error should be finished.

If you're using Microsoft Internet Explorer:

  • In the top pull-down menus (File, Edit, Tools etc.), click "Tools," then "Internet Options." This brings up a dialog with six tabs across the top (General, Security, Content).
  • Click "General," the look for "Temporary Internet Files."
  • Click "Delete Files," then click "OK." If "Delete all offline content" appears, check it.
  • Click "OK" again to clear all cached pages.

If you're using AOL:

  • From the "My AOL" menu on the AOL toolbar, choose "Preferences." Then Click "www."
  • Look for the "Temporary Internet Files." Click "Delete Files," then choose "OK."
  • Your cache should now be clear.
