Nearly all computers (not Mac) come with IE loaded at purchase. AOL bundles their own version of IE within their program and doesn't use the IE that came with the computer. You should still have the independent IE on your computer unless you have uninstalled it. You should also be able to sign onto the Internet with AOL, minimize that program and then click on the blue e and have IE launch. Sharon
