No histroy list from the 2nd or more IE8 browsers in Windows XP

OS : Windows XP, SP2 and SP3
IE version : 8.0.6001.18702
Setting of Internet Option -
(1) General -> Browsing History -> unchecked "Delete browing history on exit".
(2) Content -> AutoComplete Settings -> Checked "Address bar", "Browsing
history".

Case :
(1) Open a new IE8 browser. The history list of visited websites can be
shown from the dropdown list of address bar.
(2) Open the second IE8 browser, either by "File"-> "New Window" or click
the IE8 icon from desktop, no history list can be shown from the address bar
of the second IE8.

Any idea?

Thanks,
Ray

Hi,
Not a behavior I've seen or heard of.

1. Start Internet Explorer without add-ons from:
Right-click the IE icon on the desktop. Choose Start without add-ons.
or
Programs> Accessories> System tools> Internet Explorer (no add-ons)
If the problem goes away, you have an incompatible browser add-on installed.

For troubleshooting information see:

2. . If the problem is not caused by an add-on, see if a third-party program
(antivirus, security suite, firewall)
is the cause.

You may have to uninstall some programs, instead of merely disabling the
program, to diagnose and resolve this.
Removing McAfee may require a removal tool

Removing Norton/Symantec products completely will require the removal tool

Zone Alarm may have to be uninstalled, instead of being disabled.
