Does a icon showing 2 monitors appear on the bottom right,
after a Limited User account logs on ? If not, does the Internet Connection
(in Control Panels, Network Connections) indicate it is connected or not,
after a Limited User account logs on ? If not, select the Internet
Connection (in Control Panel, Network Connections), and select Make a
Connection in the common task list on the left. Did it make a connection,
when you logged on as a Limited Account ? It would help to know if you
actually establish a connection to DSL or Roadrunner, whenever you log on as
a Limited User account.

The main "Page can not be displayed" message shows. I'm only using
roadrunner DSL. I do not recall seeing 2 monitors on the bottom right. I
will check when I get home tonight. I'm leaving work in 10 minutes. Thanks
for the help. Kim
