Hello List, I have been using AOL Revision 4184.5201 until today when I received a new CD Rom from AOL. After loading it I clicked on help>about aol and it had Revision 4184.1201. I would like to know which is the latest revision. Lloyd

I've had a new computer, but installed the same version of AOL that I used on my old one. When I first logged on to AOL I found that my filing cabinet was empty, and all my favorite places had disappeared. Can anyone tell me where I can find them? ------------------- Barbara, Yes, they are right where you left them on you OLD computer. They are saved to your computer and you changed computers. You will need to copy the organize folder from your OLD computer to a CD or a flash drive and then move the CD or flash drive to your new computer and save the organize folder there. So fire up your old computer and start copying. While you are on there, open your AOL program and go to keyword: Favorite Places Preferences and check to have your Favorites stored on AOL. Then when you go to your NEW computer, open your favorite places and they should all be in place. Next repeat going to keyword: Favorite Places Preferences and this time uncheck to have your Favorites stored on AOL. You now have your Favorites on your NEW computer. Your computer is rather like a filing cabinet. When the old one gets full or old and tired, you go to the store and buy a new filing cabinet. One that is bigger and can hold all your old files and have room for new ones to come as well. However, you can't bring the new filing cabinet home from the store, set it up and open it expecting to see all your old files there, ready to go. You have to physically move the old files from the old cabinet to the new one. Same with your computers. Having the Internet can make moving files easier for some things, but others have to be done the old-fashioned way. :-) I recently got a new computer and I had the old one still set up for about 2 weeks so I could still get my files when I needed something. I tried to move things right away, but there were some things I didn't think about until I needed to use them. My desk was a *bit* crowded, but it worked for me. Sharon

Barbara Barbara- You will find the Organize folder with everything you saved on your PC--right where you left them--on your old computer. You would need to transfer the folder to your new computer and move it into your AOL program on your new computer. Joan

Good morning Go to AOL.com and go to your mailbox there. Your filing cabinets S/B there also. I lost everything a while back and discovered that they were safe there. Best of luck. Jeannie in OR .

They had no warning and are worried about their families and bills. Is this more work AOL has sent overseas? The reason they gave employees, according to the news, is that the firing was for financial reasons and the call center is being closed. Isn't that wonderful? Loyal employees go to work and without warning are fired?

If any change has been made, AOL made it and it was transparent to me. So how do I access the organize file through AOL? What does the file that is on your desktop say (for the description) and how long has it been there? I had assumed it was placed there by AOL at a recent time when you upgraded--but, it not it might not be what you are looking for. If the stored mail you are looking for was in the default incoming saved mail folder and you deleted the mail from your inbox--don't forget that AOL assumes you also want it deleted from your stored saved mail files.

I have both Acrobat Reader (v. 7.0, fully updated) and Acrobat (v. 5.0, also fully updated) on my PC. I am running Windows XP, and the file association for pdf files is set to Acrobat Reader 7.0. However, whenever I try to open a pdf file from AOL, it tries to use Acrobat 5.0. Also, the file won't open. I can save the file (right-click and "save target as") and then it will open OK in Acrobat Reader. Is there some other setting in AOL that overrides the file type association in Windows? Wilson

Does, or can anyone recommend a program that I could use to help me clean out and manage my file cabinet on AOL. I am ready to even "pay" for such a program--I have over 6,000 e-mails in it. Dianna

My Hesse mail is also now going to my spam folder. You are right, this just started happening a couple of days ago.
