Thanks, Dolly, the good thing is I'm not having to learn a new program - that's the thing that I DIDN'T want to do. I love the one I've been using for 2 years, and I was able to get the next version of it installed and OPEN yesterday afternoon. There are a few minor changes, but it's basically the same features as the one I was using. Always have to reset the toolbar preferences and add the plugins that I like, but at least I'm back in bizness now! :)

I would still rather have XP back than Vista, but I can live with this now. I hate the ONLY version that AOL has that will work with Vista - it stinks, but I did install Firefox, and between that and opening IE7 (INDEPENDENT OF AOL), I'll be able to view and save graphics as they really are, not as they look when I view them with aol. They are compressed SO MUCH (and no, there is no way with this version to UNDO compression) that some of the photographs and textured backgrounds are just gosh-awful ugly and blurry. :( Plus, along with them LOOKING like that, they can't be saved with their normal extensions - it's .art or .bmp, and that's it. Just one more step I have to take to save something I want while browsing with aol - have to copy the url and put it in Firefox to open it to save as a jpeg or gif. I can't get IE7 to open a graphic by itself, nor will it necessarily open ALL the graphics of a single web page. Firefox doesn't always show the correct font color or face of a webpage, so it's just a lot of unnecessary steps. :(

Oh well, I know that both Vista and AOL will eventually be better.
