AOL and IE/OE

[tabatha]

:wavey:

Hi..Advice/info much appreciated.
A friend is running Win98se with AOL..For some reason AOL appears to be blocking access to IE/OE..Whenever he tries to connect he get a message"Access Denied..This site is on your Access Denied List"..We can find no such list and all his settting on IE/OE are the same as mine,which seems to point to AOL taking over..Could this be??,and how to get over the prob??.Removing AOL is not an option as he is installing AOL B/B.
He has latest editions of all 3 progs installed[aol/ie/oe].
Step by step help is preferred...its called something for idiots!!!
:shrug: :confused:

should have read...whenever he tries to connect to the internet via IE[ANY wwwsite]orOE[for emails]...he gets a message etc.etc..sorreeeeee!!!

Its he logging on with the master username?

Also some broadband adapters can be set to block all non AOL transmissions

AOL have had Netscape as their in-house browser for some time, although I don't think they've had any objections to your using IE.

In fact, they have now announced that they're dumping Netscape (which they own) and will be using IE as their included browser in the future.

Scuttlebutt has it that this is the last straw for Netscape.

Have you tried pointing IE at a different site than the MSN default?

Of course not! Would a nice, altruistic, customer loving, benevolent company like AOL be influenced by money? Perish the thought!
