apparently I agreed in error to make AOL my default browser and now I am unable to access Firefox or IE or even Google; AOL has taken over and all steps I've tried to restore previous settings have failed. Would uninstalling AOL (keeping files intact) and then reinstalling it correct this situation??

Thank you Edmeister. Unfortunately, although I've tried this solution over the past few days, it doesn't work in my case.. (I know, repeating the same action over and over and expecting different results is not the sign of genius) peterg29
