Well.. call me lucky for trying to fix a smaller problem first or stupid for
not checking it first. Besides IE not working aol messenger was also not
working. Wasn't really worried about it, but my sister called when I got home
and wondered why I wasn't online so she could harrass me. Not wanting to mess
with it to much I just uninstalled the messenger and just before I hopped
onto Mozilla to for to aol's site to reinstall, I tried IE and it worked
fine. I had tried it when I turned computer on to see if a couple days
offline would have helped and it was still out. So thats my story. That sucky
aol world struck me from afar. Thanks for help. All was good advice, some I
was doing already, some I wasn't. All good to know. Thanks again...Larry
