Go to the AOL page, click tools / internet options / while on the aol page click use current.

Enable the AOL Toolbar If the AOL Toolbar is disabled, it will not appear as part of the Internet Explorer toolbar.
To enable the AOL Toolbar in Internet Explorer® 6.0 and earlier:

To enable the AOL Toolbar in Internet Explorer 7.0:
On the browser window, click the Tools menu on the right side, select Toolbars, then click AOL Toolbar.
To enable the AOL Toolbar in Internet Explorer® 8.0:
On the browser window, click the View menu, select Toolbars, then click AOL Toolbar.
Note: When enabled, a check mark will appear next to AOL Toolbar.

you can download google chrome for free and set it as the default browser

Try Mozilla Firefox and see if the same thing happens. lol, explorer 8... They just won't give up!

You have your default connection set to aol, depending on the internet explorer version you are using you can go to Tools > Internet Options, Click on the 'Connections' tab and remove the AOL connection from your default connections, if you have LAN or cable internet you can select Setup Connection and follow the prompts to set up your permanent connection that way you don't get those AOL messages anymore.

Sometimes other programs, such as Firefox and AOL, can accidentally be set to your default internet browser. This is how to change it back to Internet Explorer on Windows XP.
[edit] Steps

1. Open Internet Explorer
2. Go to Tools > Internet Options
3. Click to the Programs tab
4. Click Reset Web Settings
5. When the pop-up menu comes up, select Yes.
6. Another method that does reset all your other options:
7. Open Control Panel and double-click Internet Options.
8. Click the Programs tab.
9. Click to select the Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser check box.
10. Click OK.
11. Start Internet Explorer and when you are prompted to make it the default browser, click Yes.

Well you must view your internet options and make sure that ''do not allow put home pages on desktop''

This can be due to a corrupted Interente esplorer, if this was working fine before first thing to do here is to do a System Restore on that cmputer to the time that everything was working fine.....

Hope that helps.........

Under Tools in Internet Explorer go to Options>Connections>Lan settings uncheck all boxes click okay all the way to get all changes recognised by your PC.Refresh the page in Internet Explorer. Bingo.

AOL has been and will always have problem (had to do repairs on AOL computers since 1994)

If you have a DSL or Cable connection why pay again for AOL? That means you are paying twice for the same internet connection - and AOL causes lots of problems.

For AOL problems, it is best to contact AOL.
