Users and the internet

[Steve]

I have recently got my new compaq pc with XP home
installed. I use AOL broadband and have set up another
user on my pc (for my girlfreind). when i have the
computer on i normally have AOL running as well, when my
girlfreind wants to us the pc to do any work etc, she
switches users and sometimes she also runs AOL. The
problem i have is when i switch back i get a message
telling me another user has used/is using aol and my
connection is terminated. is there any way that two users
can have aol running while switching usere?

Thanks

Steve, give AOL tech support a call. They have something new that should do
what you want. I don't know the details but do know that if your account
qualifies for the feature, you get it set up with their tech support (some
flag they add to your account on their end).
