Default Mobo swap

Well, isn't there an old saying that "finding useful help from AOL is like finding
honour among thieves"? eg

After going back again, I'll be damned that it appears 80% of their
support is linked to an MS KB article.

OK, got it....sorry.....the problem was that I was using Opera browser.
The aol
help site just does not work with it. Going to help.aol.com in IE or
Firefox *does*
work, and I can input the search terms and get the same results you got.

Using your directions from the first link also works in IE and Firefox,
but not
Opera. So bottom line....can't use Opera if I want to use AOL Help. :-)

Ok, I see that mofu doesn't go to the addressed page I copied, I
guess I
wasn't hallucinating after all.
Anyhoo, type in the text input search box on the page it goes to for the
proper results.

See the results for yourself:

Sure did with results being support articles. I didn't provide a
link
because it was late and it seemingly appeared to me one of them
goofball
links that take you where I started anyhow. Now I see I was
hallucinating.

Here's the result form my search as stated in my response:

...and something useful is supposed to appear?

Did you try this, Brian? There ain't nothing worthwhile when you do
that. I just
tried a number of different search terms for things I'd like to know
how
to do with
AOL as far as configuration, and all the search hits are nothing but
a
bunch of
marketing and press releases.

The motherboard swap went fine. 99 vintage Via to 2005 Intel. 99
vintage Amd to 2004 Intel cpu. Stripped drivers etc., installed
new
mobo
drivers in 98SE. Uneventful.

Want to swap com 1 connected 33K telco to USB connected 56K
version
modem. PC is using AO-hell for internet/mail. Not familiar with
AOL,
the
change is for my daughter's PC. USB 2.0 is up and running.
