I am a new user to WIN2K Pro, I upgraded from ME, I also
upgraded to AOL 8.0 .I can access AOL, read amd write e-
mails and chat to AOL staff but I can't go beyond AOL to
connect to any web sites, IE is unable to display web
pages and will only work off-line. AOL has checked IE
settings and all looks OK??? Help

Not much help here - but

I would suggest a clean install of Win2k - back up any documents or
files you want to save then bite the bullet and start from scratch.

Off topic but there are much cheaper service providers out there
locally - dump AOL - unless you have to have their chat rooms - etc.
You should be able to find 24/7 unlimited access for way less thatn
$20/mo.

Thanks Lee,
I was afraid of that, I hate the taste of lead...

There are other things you could try if no one else here has a
specific solution. Install the latest IE distribution. Check that
the Win2K service pack 4 and latest secuity fixes are done. Run a
antivirus/bot/trojan check.

Tried reinstalling win2k,aol and ie5.5, still no joy, as
for the service pack it downloads from the web straight to
the pc which of course it doesn't want to do...
even as we "speak" I am backing up my data to another
drive. Maybe a spring clean will do it good!
Thanks
