Hi 777 :-)

In my last reply to your previous post, I suggested that you do a backup of
your History. Did you do this? Have you scanned with your Antivirus,
AdAware and SpyBot to be sure there is no scumware on your machine?

You have not yet mentioned what version of Windows or IE you are using, but,
if you have done the other steps above, and your History folder is still not
working, then you can do a repair of your IE.

Here are the steps for repairing IE for these Windows versions:
