But it's worth a try. 1) Place your curser over the AOL icon in the sys-tray down by your clock and Right-click it. It should bring up a menu and one of the options is AOL 9.0 or 9.1. Sharon, When I get to the sign on settings for 9.0 the three options are: 1. enable fast start 2. Open AOL when I am connected to internet. 3. Automatically sign on with this screen name when I open AOL. The only one that was checked was the first one - enable fast start. Nancy
