Is it time to go to a new copy of AOL? I have a disc here I picked up a few weeks ago at the store. Thanks, Dee Dee- Sharon of anyone else can correct me if I'm wrong--but I THINK that the dictionary AOL is accessing isn't part of the AOL program but rather already on your computer as part of Windows. It may be that AOL has become corrupted and lost the link to the dictionary or perhaps the dictionary itself has become corrupted. Unless someone on the list can give a clearer explanation that I can as to where the dictionary is housed and what might actually be the problem--you might want to check with AOL tech support before doing anything.
