Ok, my problem is this:

When I click on Clear History under Internet Options, the URLs to websites get cleared successfully. However, the image links cannot be cleared!

For example, I can clear "http://www.google.com" from my cache successfully, but "http://www.tfracetrack.com/instructions/g1/autobot/landmine.jpg" cannot be cleared!

Does anyone know the solution to this problem? I did not install any graphics software and my advanced internet options settings are all at default.

Look for the Temporary Internet Files option.

The Clear Temporary Internet Files button is right above the Clear History button. I didn't think I had to mention that I tried it at the start as well.

Oh btw, I also cleared the Recycle Bin. Did I need to mention that?

(Before anybody else starts to bombard me with things that I already know, here are some other things I thought to do as well:

1)Cleared SSL
2)Cleared Autocomplete forms
3)Cleared Cookies
4)Ran CCleaner
5)Ran Trend Micro AntiSpyware and Avast Antivirus, though doesn't seem like a spyware or virus problem here.)
6)Rebooted. Several Times.(YES, SOMEONE MIGHT SUGGEST THAT)

Short of reinstalling IE or emailing Microsoft, neither of which I want to do . . . Any other solutions?
