Windows 98se with AOL 7.0 installed. Dials three times before connection is made. We have tried different numbers. Same thing. Also, email works but we cannot browse with IE or AOL 7.0. Need some clarification on this. Does AOL 7.0 use IE as it's browser or does it have it's own? Furthermore, the good people at AOL had us go to the start menu and launch a "System Information" program from inside the AOL menu. Then had us go to "Utilities". Then they had us clear the cache files and uninstall the AOL adapter. Restart the computer. Remove any file on the computer that had the name "Global" in it. This forced AOL 7.0 to setup the modem and get the dial up numbers again. They also wanted us to go to the "Internet Tools" and use the "Repair Kit". I could not find that one. Anyway, we had a similar problem with a customer running Windows 2000. In that case we had to reregister some dll files to fix the problem. Windows 98 does not have those same files, so this is not an option. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreaciated. Thanks
