OFF TOPIC: I need some advice from tech-minded people. I have been having ongoing problems with AOL at signoff. I get "Carrier Lost- No modem connection" and sometimes a slew of GPF error messages. Always happens when using built-in IE browser. AOL Tech Support has been no help whatsoever. Now, a fellow member has e-mailed me(saw my complaint in an AOL chat room) and has offered to help.

He wants me to e-mail him a zipfile of my autoexec.bat, configsys, win.ini,progman.ini and system.ini. Is this dumb on my part? Should I only do it if he e-mails me back the instructions he suggests changing vs. my downloading a zip back to me(who knows what could be in the file).

Most of you guys have alot of computer savvy; I've already told you before that I invest in tech stocks, but am no techie.

Help?

Paul
