| said by PickAName  :An error message or what happens when she tries to log on might be useful RE the downloaded files - don't try and use them via AOL, st browse to where you put them and run them from there. E.g if it's a PDF file, just double click it to open it. If it's an image - double click it to view it. Basically don't use the AOL download manager to try and use the downloaded files Try the following steps on your AOL .
