NEWSFLASH !!!

having just spent three days picking apart AOLs guts the true reason has been reveiled by my local computer supplier.

AOL IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS XP ! and no matter what you do for the near future won’t be.

i have got around my problems by downloading another copy of AOL 9 over writing existing one and has 70% solved it but i still need to go back every half hour and open a web page to keep it happy.

The only reason i’m sticking with it is the unlimited downloads
Also one other thing sugeste is getting a powered external usb hub as this most systems only provide so much power to the ports and this can affect connection length
