QUESTION: didn't work -

Answer
Hi,
I would now delete AOL completely (uninstall0, then see if explorer works, if it does then re-install AOL, (that is if you still want it, as i think it messes up too many computers), but when asked DO NOT MAKE THE AOL BROWSER (expolrer), the default. see how that goes and let me know.
