Have AOL on machine. I use aol dialup as well. I want to take
advantage of my windows xp messenger remote sharing. My nieghboor
tried helping me and said that I need a different ISP. Something about
he cant sign in on the messenger. I have to be using aol to use the
internet btw too! So i guess what im saying is I want to use the
windows messenger and have aol running. Possible? When i go to sign in
to windows messenger it trys to verify my pass word and such and says
"yuck"
