I tried this while visiting my sister's place and using her computer. She was using AOL at the time and has since switched to Adelphia cable, thank God. Anyhow, if memory serves, once I connected to AOL, I minimized the AOL main window, then launched Internet Explorer from the desktop as I normally would. I was pleased to discover that IE hadn't been severely tweaked by the AOL installation and that I was able to do everything that I needed to do at the time, specifically, go up to the Symantec web site, browse around and purchase a Norton upgrade and subscription for my sister's machine. When I was finished, I then exited IE normally, went back into the AOL window and signed off. Hope this helps.
