AOL & IE co-exist?

the internet unless I use AOL.
I can ping by name or IP address, but IE will tell me 'page cannot be
displayed'.
Any suggestions?

Mr. Simpson, there are thousands of people like you with no discernable
talent.
Yeah, they're called Congress.

Many years ago, a friend had the same problem with her computer. The simple
solution was to uninstall AOL software. Actually it was a bit more
complicated than that. She INSISTED on using AOL software, which is silly.
Even if you were a paid subscriber to AOL at the time, you didn't have to
use AOL software. Her connection was broadband. She could have used any
email program to check her AOL e-mail, and any other browser. But the
problem started right after she upgraded to the next highest number of AOL
software. So I uninstalled that, and reinstalled the previous version of
AOL software. The fix worked. -Dave

I've had several cases like this in the past week. Client was using cable
or dsl. Turned out to be a couple of viruses/trojans of the search page
misdirection type. If using McAfee, Norton or MS Antivirus they were
useless. Installed Firefox and there were no problems.
Use AVG, F-Prot, or Avast AND Malwarebytes to fix the problem.

It was a proxy issue, once I changed that in IE options, they both worked
fine.
