The reason why you have to delete the cache in the computer because it takes up to much space on your hard drive and it also slows down your computer. The way you can do this with window XP is to go into the internet Explorer and select tools, you will see a selection where it says Internet Options, go to the general tab and delete cookies, files and offline files, go and clear history. Next step go to settings in general and view files and go to edit select all and delete. Then after this hit apply, another spot you can go to to clear cache is in the content tab - clear SSL state - auto complete - clear forms and passwords.

The cache is a small data-memory storage area that your computer accesses instantly, rather than having to re-access the original data from its original source. Once your Web browser accesses a Web page it references that page within your computer's cache. When a subsequent Web page calls for the same files, your browser loads the cached files instantly, eliminating downloading time.

Computer cache might prevent new pages from loading correctly. For instance, if you tried to view your account and received an error message, but you know your PIN and barcode numbers are correct, this is probably a cache problem. You will need to clear your cache to correct this problem. The directions below will help you clear the memory cache in your computer.
