text: i installed aol & then earthlink, now ie doesnt work, wondering why?   my guess is that your connection option in internet explorer is all messed up because of having two isps.  assuming earthlink is your current isp:  1. go to start --> control panel  2. switch to classic view  3. double-click the internet options icon  4. click the connections tab  5. click once on the earthlink account in the dial up  / virtual private network settings window, to select it.  6. click ok to close the dialog  that should do it
