Question : Inability to Log Onto AOL Homepage Via IE

When I attempt to log onto the AOL homepage via IE using desktop icons for that page, I receive a message telling m that I'm not authorized to view that page:

http://hp-laptop.aol.com/_cqr/login?sitedomain=hp-laptop.aol.com&authLev=0&siteState=OrigUrl%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fhp-laptop.aol.com%252F&lang=en&locale=us&mcAuth=%2FBcAG0eclK0AAK9PBgOTkkeclOkIBpdbiFHfkA0AAA%3D%3D

Please note that there is usually a redirect to hp-laptop (see above link), the computer I'm using.

I can access the AOL homepage via FireFox with no difficulty. I can also access the AOL mail sign-in via IE using a desktop icon.

Usually, but not always, if I attempt to to log into www.aol once online (via IE), I DO get to the AOL page without difficulty.

Help, please, and thanks.

arthurboehm,

Is this a recent problem?  And it was working previously? Did you make any software or hardware change?

If so, perform a system restore to a date when shortcuts were working.
