Cannot Navigate Back to Previous Web Page
This article was previously published under Q298639
In Microsoft Internet Explorer, you are unable to navigate back to the previous Web page when you click the
Back button.
Internet Explorer loops endlessly between a Web page that you cannot open, and a frameset Web page.
This problem may occur if the Web site author created a frameset by using a source (SRC) of http:///www.example.com, in which there is one extra (/) forward slash
NOTE: This incorrect URL (http:///www.example.com) also appears in the History file.
To resolve this problem, contact the author of the Web site to have them remove a (/) forward slash from the frameset source.
To work around this problem, right-click the
Back button and select the previous Web site from the context menu.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
