Mike, I think I understood what Willy wanted to do.
Which is why I told him how to do what he was asking. Jack you need to remember that AOL doesn't have the worldwide presence that Americans might think it has. Personally I haven't seen an AOL disk for years. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Jack E Martinelli wrote: Willy, I concur again with Mike about your sister upgrading to IE6 SP1. This is important. Mike, I think I understood what Willy wanted to do. I was trying to direct him to a source for the IE6 setup files. The only rational use for the AOL8 disk is to retrieve the IE6 installation files for WinME (or Win98 or W2K). One can then copy them to CD and burn the AOL disk (i,e., put the disk in a fire!). |

I can now no longer receive calls (but can make them) and those I call can no longer see my number. As for my ADSL connection it's syncing with the exchange at the same speeds as before but the attenuation figures have significantly deteriorated as have the signal/ratios. Not a particularly happy bunny at the moment. Cheers, -- Mike |

Thank you for the update availability of AOL installation CD's.
Here they remain ubiquitous, exceeded only by McDonald's paper trash and government lies in every public place. Does make it easy to get a newer disk when one fails. I wouldn't know anything about the AOL service except my mother-in-law persists in using it to message with her buddies. AOL 8 under WinME works fine for her. -- Jack E.

Sorry to hear about your switch over, hope that doesn't happen to me I had
notice that mine is due to be switched over on the 15th of this month and I'm having enough problems with my router at the moment without any more vbg Joan Mike M wrote: BTW my phone service got switched this a.m. from BT as part of my ISP upgrade (8Mbps down 512Kbps up) but everything's got royally screwed (not totally unexpected really).

ADSL Am now syncing with the exchange at 6.7Mb down and 416Kb up but am not seeing any increase in speeds. Hopefully this will be fixed tomorrow. I should be syncing at 8Mb down but it looks as if I might not be getting the full speed I should. Hope your router problems get sorted soon and the changes due on the 15th are without problem. -- Mike |

My Sister has a problem with OE on her oldish PC that has Windows ME. I think that she has OE 5.5. One of her main issues is that she can't delete items from her outbox. Her ISP 'Help line' has told her that she needs to upgrade to IE6. As she is on a slow dial-up connection, is there a website where I could download IE6 and put it on a CD for her? I am only able to find the MS Installer via the web. TIA, Willy |

As is reading what has already been posted to this thread where you will find that the details of how to download IE have already been posted. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP wrote ...

Glad to hear that things seem to be getting better.
My change over is just that Onetel are taking over the line rental from BT for my account as I already have them supplying all my calls, and it'll be cheaper g I don't have my ADSL service through them though but my ISP did say when I first applied that it shouldn't make any difference to my connecting to them. Lets hope that's true or there will be murder in this house if no one can get online. g As for the router if I don't get it sorted out they will just come and swap it, probably for another make.

Mine is a bit different though as my telephone line is no longer connected to BT equipment at the exchange. It's now what is called a Local Loop Unbundled (LLU) line. Same copper line from my home to the exchange where it is now connected to equipment owned by Bulldog/Cable & Wireless. My only bill will be from Bulldog. BT's involvement now being limited to repairing any problems that might occur between me and the exchange. I don't have my ADSL service through them though but my ISP did say when I first applied that it shouldn't make any difference to my connecting to them. Lets hope that's true or there will be murder in this house if no one can get online. g As for the router if I don't get it sorted out they will just come and swap it, probably for another make. Sounds like a good solution. I'm using a Netgear 834G which has given me no problems in the last year. Cheers, Mike |
