HOW TO GET BACK YOUR AOL IDENTITY:

When installing a new version of AOL, installing on a new computer, or reinstalling after the dreaded "crash"; the question arises "how do I get my identity back".

No problem! After installing AOL, you should have two options available to you: "New User" and "Guest".

Go ahead an log on as New User. It will call the 800 # for you and you'll need to select your local access numbers. After that, you'll be asked for your "certificate number". Enter your main account name (the one you were given or chose when you first signed on to AOL) and then enter your password. Wala, you're back to your old self!

A hint for future reference: All the info you need re: AOL is kept in a file called PCAO.GEO. This is located in your GEOWORKS\WORLD directory (or AOL\World for non-ensemble users). Good idea to make a backup copy of this file so if you lose your main copy, you can just replace it.
