My Mom rec'd a Compaq computer from my stepson.
Everything seems to be running fine. She installed AOL
and is able to send and receive email, but every time she
enters a web address, or anything else in the address
window, another address is defaulting. I found this same
address (starts out like res:/windows\etc.) under the
general tab in "Internet Options" under Home page: "Use
Current". Everytime we try to change the address and
click apply, it goes back to that same address. She
doesn't have a Windows 98 restore disk from the previous
owner. I've tried asking AOL, and they said it
was "Internet Explorer" problem. Does anyone have a
possible fix? (I live 200 miles from her and she can
barely turn the machine on and off without a lot of
difficulty.--I went to her house last Saturday to try and
show her how to use the aol; that's when I discovered
there's a problem. Thank you so much if anyone can help!
