AOL couldn't tell me anything about it.The only way I got anything to work and get back on line was to reload 9.0 again. KC(~,~) ---- This is kind of an apples and oranges discussion. <g> Sharon isn't saying you can't lose files when they are stored on your computer--she is saying *AOL won't delete them deliberately* in these cases. You can always have files get corrupted on your computer--which is why I save important stuff both on my computer and on AOL. Joan
