I KNOW BETTER THAN TO GO WITH A STANDARD ANSWER OF "TIME TO REFORMAT AND START FROM SCRATCH" -- THERE'S ALWAYS A SOLUTION.

AOL 5.0 has been known to make some very low level changes to windows that have caused problems with other browsers and even other internet connections that exsist on computers other than AOL. I would suggest reinstalling AOL or, if that fails, downgrade to an earlier version of AOL then reinstall your browsers after uninstalling them.

Answer # 2 has it...AOL modifies small but critical files in the registry. It also modifies the dial up capabilities of the system.

There's not ALWAYS another solution. It's the nature of windows I'm afraid. Unless you are a programming wizard and can read code from the ones and zeros! You've got the AOL Virus (sarcasm) and the possibility of fixing your issues without reformating are so slim you'd need an electron microscope to find them!
Seriously, if you find an answer and make them all work without reformating I would really like to hear it. I've just worked on too many machines that AOL has hosed to believe you are going to have success.

One of the Windows update files ""Fragmented IGMP Packet" Security Vulnerability" can **** up TCP/IP. I learned the hard way. Unistall your TCP/IP protocal in Network properties and reinstall it.
