how do you clear cache from a computer?

Answer 1

Follow the first answerer's instructions for IE. For Firefox:

Tools
Options
Click the 'Privacy' tab
Cache tab
Click 'Clear cache now'

If you have CCleaner, go to 'Applications' and in Mozilla Firefox, check the 'Cache' box. Then clean.

Use the link below to get CCleaner if you're interested. It cleans out your PC in a matter of seconds unlike other Registry Programs that take forever. It fixes Registry problems, cleans unwanted stuff and has an uninstal program like Add/Remove programs, only that it opens in a millisecond.
