Every time I use the arrow down key or push a leter on the keyboard a drop down list appears with my past history searches. This happens on every web site being a global seach or company web page. The same applys when filing out fields such as name, address, etc... How can I clear the history or is their a check box to turn off the history so nothing is saved?

I'll have to admit to being baffled as to why your having the occurances you are with your keyboard Luckily they aren't very expensive if it is malfunctioning, but before you go out and buy one, try another keyboard in place of yours See if maybe a key is sticking or something, that in conjunction with the keys you press is creating these bizarre effects This is probably it.

As far as erasing your internet history, all you have to do is click on start, go to settings, control panel, internet options There are two things you can do here related to history You can delete your history and set the number of days that it is saved.

Hope I have been of help, and thank you for your question..
