I can not sign on to AOL from my computer but can from other computers. The icon on start of page won't respond and neither will right clicking and trying to open that way. Our other screen name works fine.

Delete the cache and reboot the machine and try it again... sometimes the cache gets corrupted and cause any number of strange problems.

AOL still exists?

Yes... believe it or not... I've actually been in their server farms before... heck... I've been in all of their offices including the original one before they got big. But there is a difference between existing and being healthy.

Wow, I've not heard about AOL for over 10 years now.

Their Business model changed.. instead of being an internet provider, they are more of a content provider supported by advertising. THey arenn't sailing anywhere near as high as they were in their heyday... but they are still clinging on to survival. Broadband was their downfall. You can't provide that over dialup.
