Abehl,   Probably due to added security in SP2, and the fact that IE/OE is integrated into SP2.  Have you tried uninstalling AOL 9.0 Security Edition.  Install SP2.   Reinstall AOL 9.0 Security Edition.?   Most likely you'll have to adjust IFRAME, ActiveX and Script options in Internet Explorer to get links to work.   Also, have you tried using Outlook Express to get your AOL e-mail?   Set up as IMAP account.  Also you might want to download 'Communicator'.  Very similar to Outlook.  Handles e-mail and instant messages without running main AOL software.   Looks like we've slipped back to 2000 when you had to copy and paste AOL e-mail hyperlinks.
