I have a client who uses AOL 7.0. Computer specs: XP2000, 256 Mb Ram, 40 GB, Win98se.

She designs web pages and helps with the design of an online newspaper. The editors of the site are given a special URL and passwords to get to the edit portion of the newspaper.

If she goes to the URL in AOL, the dialog box pops up with "Enter Name, Enter Domain, Enter Password". She enters the information. When she clicks ok, AOL brings up a page saying that her password is incorrect.

If she goes to the URL in IE6.0, the dialog box pops up with "Enter Name, Enter Domain, Enter Password". She enters the information. When she clicks ok, IE takes her straight to the editting page.

Neither IE or AOL is set to cache passwords, and she knows her password by heart. The login information has been confirmed by the owner of the site. The problem is that the password does not work in AOL, but works in IE.

I have looked in the AOL preferences, there is nothing that suggests it would solve the problem. She can use AOL fine (browsing, checking mail, IM, etc) - except that she can not directly edit the newspaper without loading up IE and editing through IE.

Any suggestions?
