This happens when you clear out history, temp IE files. But I dont see why it would happen suddenly. May have a slight problem there.

I've cleared out tempIE files before and it didn't happen. Wasn't clearing history at the time. This happened as I added urls to my favorites --- by the time I'd noticed it was too late to remember the specific url that triggered it
