Start>Settings>Control Pane>Add/Remove Programs> Internet Exporer 5.5 & Internet
Tools.
Click On Internet Tools. A box will come up.
Select to REPAIR IE 5.5 .
If it can be repaired you might be able to get back ONLINE Again.
Another thing to check into in control Panel is the Internet Options are. Look in
the folder called Connections. Make sure you DO NOT connect through a PROXY SERVER
when uusing AOL. It refuses to behave under these terms. Also check in the settings
& advanced areas to make doubly sure you aren't going through a proxy server. IE
5.5 likes to bump other software like Earthlink, Netscape or DELLNET from the default
connections. If you have an ISP & hook up with them BEFORE you hook up to AOL make
sure your ISP connection is still the default connection.
These problems I am sure are caused by Mr. Softee & company trying to rule your desktop
if you have use of "other" browsers other than his. My laptop uses IE5.5 exclusively
with no other browser "competition". I hardly ever get the DNS error that I get when
I go to my desktop unit. TALK ABOUT CONTROL..... I hope the 9 STATES are able to
put the Whammy on some of Microsoft's Policies....This sucks...trying to reconfigure
your OS to make the browser work.
