re: Daughters eMachine dial-up Monday, May 28, 2007 at 9:13 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Douglas (10 messages posted) I disagree with the last posts. This sounds like an AOL thing to me. Is AOL your ISP? I had that problem with AOL on a Windows 98 machine. I dont use dial up but I do have an AOL account. So if this is your case, the problem is with the AOL software not "releasing" from the initial connection. Best way I know to describe it. My solution: Try a newer version of the software. If this is not an option, whenever you're ready to reconnect, open task manager, close everything that has anything to do with AOL listed in running processes. Now open AOL and dial in. IIRC doing this a few times will ultimately (for some unknown reason) solve your problem permanently.
