Hi Ted, There may be some options in the AOL tray icon (bottom right). On machines I setup that include AOL, I usually use a local dialup to update Windows. After I logon using the local ISP, AOL asks, "AOL has detected that you are connected to the internet. Do you want to start AOL?" So the answer is either in your auto-AOL options, or the other computer is set up for "Bring your own access". Probably the latter.

I was trying to set up his new computer to do so, but could not get AOL to automatically bring up the Dial Up for the ISP automatically. Currently he now has to click on the Dial Up Networking icon for the ISP, connect and then click on AOL. I know it can be done because his notebook is set up to do so. But, even comparing the two configurations side-by-side, I could not find where to have the ISP dial up happened automatically when AOL is started.... Any clues to where I should look?? ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less!
