booted when clicking on search results.....

[Kareen]

Hi Everyone,
I use AOL ( I know....old habits die hard) and when doing a search the results come up but as soon as I click on one of the search results links I get booted off    and then AOL automatically gets me back on without putting in my password. I also have firefox which I use rarely but I got right on the results of my search on that site. Is there a setting I need to change for aol? Thanks  , Kareen

Sorry, I do not use AOL so have no idea about the settings they require.

Cheers,
Sean

Kareen.....I've been having the same problem with AOL.  I thought it was just my computer, so I cleaned everything out today and started fresh.  It still happened, then I saw your post.  I'm getting so tired of AOL, but I just recently did the bell south and aol with DSL, and I'm stuck still spring time.  Don't want to pay a penlty, but I think when that time comes, I'm going to change.  Just hate to, I've had my screen name for over 9 years.

I use AOL and no problem

Thanks everyone  . I spoke with someone at AOL who told me to uninstall AOL and re install which I did. Couldn't get back on with my normal screen name though and lost all of my favorites etc. I uninstalled again and used another aol reinstall disc and now things are back to normal. It was a long day on the computer !! Ky Kim, I am not at all computer savey but I do have foxfire on mine and was able to at least get out on the internet with that while the aol was down . I could then get into my aol mail etc thru them. even when I couldn't get out on explorer I too am getting extremely frustrated with AOL. Kareen

I've called them twice now.  They've had me change a couple settings.  I can come to the forum, play some pogo games, and yahoo games no problem.  I was trying to look up some receipes, and I got so fired up.  I could click on one link, look at it.  Exit it, and here we go....Goodbye, Welcome.....and it repeats this until I reboot the computer.  Then I can look up one again, and it starts all over.  I'm tired tonight, and I'm still have a couple things to bake to take with me tomorrow.  I really needed to look something up tonight, someone gave me a lemon cake receipe, and wrote it from memory.  When I made the batter, to me it looked like something had been left out.  With frusturation with getting booted, I went ahead and made it.  Looks alright, guess the real test will be tomorrow when we taste it.

Kareen  I have lost Favorite Places many times  when i uninstall,and guess what? It shows up after a week!
So hang on.

[Kareen]

Ky Kim, I too am still getting kicked off when doing search results but if I copy and paste the link then click on go I do get thru. Please let me know if you get  any answers from AOL      LOL

Jerry the favorites were gone with the second re install but I started to add them again and low and behold my old settings came back     !!!!  Kareen

Ps  Ky Kim how did the lemon dish you made come out?? Was anything missing?

I finally gave up with AOL trying to help me.  I lost all my pics I had on the computer, redoing everything.  I didn't put them on a disc, oh well....it was a good clean out.  My dh noticed that the modem the plug was loose, after that everything has been fine.
