IE 5.5 and web pages

[11290]

I am using AOL and have loaded a Microsoft program and included IE 5.5. It did not give me an option to not load this version.

Since this load, several of my web sites will not launch properly. They will come up with a "file download" box and not launch the webpage. It does not happen with all of them just several. I have tried to enter the URL manually but get the same result.

Is thiss a quirk of IE5.5 and is there some setting that I have not found that will correct this.

Are you using IE or the internal AOL browser?

I am using the AOL browser, but did not have this problem until the addition of the IE 5.5 software.

I understand. The internal AOL browser *is* IE in a custom shell. Reinstall a fresh copy of AOL 5.0 and see if that fixes it.

Just did that and it did not fix. The program that I loaded this afternoon was Microsoft PictureIt 2001. It said on the side of the box that it would load it but would NOT replace the existing.

Maybe this is just a temporary glitch on the server where these sites are located. Just seems funny that it is only on certain ones and not all of the others too.

Just as an example, if I click on my bookmarked site (favorites) I get the file download box. If I type in the URL and then click go, I get the site main page the when I try to go further I get the file download box. I tried to run it from the associations box, but it doesn't go through.

The site is http://www.rconline.com

Just clicked on the "more info" button of the "file download" box while in AOL when it came up on one of the bookmarks with a problem, and when the additional information comes up it references IE5.5. I thought the default browser with AOL 5.0 was also IE 5.0.

I am going to TRY to locate the IE 5.5 files and delete them.

Went in last night and cleaned out all of the temporary folders of AOL and IE and now everything works fine. Dom't know why it happened but it is ok now. Thanks.
