Hi,

You may have a problem with IE, but that would be separate from the
problem of selecting a device to connect to the Internet with. It's the
AOL software that initiates the selected device. If it is still trying
to dial using the 56k modem, then it is looking for the wrong device.

You can run a repair of IE by going to StartRun, then entering msinfo32
in the field and click ok. Along the top of that dialogue box, select
ToolsInternet Explorer Repair Tool, then select "repair" from the menu.
