hard to say , pogo uses java, so its possible your java install is screwed up, are you using the standard windows install ?

try uninstalling aol and reinstalling.

what happens when you click on a link, nothing, blank page ? etc

Yeah I tried reinstalling Java but it kept messing up last night. When I click on a link it comes up as a blank page..

Installed Java again but still having problems when i click on one of the links that won't worl at the bottom of the page it says

javascript: gotab 'peaks'

but when i click it it doesn't take me to that link...

any help would be appreciated

I seem to be having a problem with scripting. I get a error box about scripting when i click on certain links.

Any solutions to this?
Is there a way to get Windows Settings back to the way they originally were without reinstalling windows? maybe I screwed up something with the windows settings.

in IE, tools>internet options>advanced

check out those setting carefully. I'll bet something is hosed there (like maybe Java is disabled?)

I havent seen the AOL interface in a long time, but they used to have something similar in their menus. ten bucks says that AOL screwed up those settings.

unless you have absolutely NO OTHER internet service option, I strongly advise losing AOL. coming from a former AOL/CS user, I can tell you that their service is the worst.
