Just don't use AOL. Too many computer resources are used by frontend ISP-provided browsers. Stop using AOL or MSN (or another ISP-provided browsers); just get a regular internet connection and use the standard browsers; Firefox, IE, etc.

People still use AOL after 1997?

How does it look on your webTV?

Get rid of AOL but download IE7 first.
Download Internet explorer 7 from microsoft.
Also download a program called CCleaner that cleans up your pc, gets rid of tempary files, cookies etc.
Oh and download an antimalware/spyware program called A2free.

Hope this is usefull,
Regards,
Nick.

Lee,
I had the same problem with IE about a month ago. Somehow or other it cleared itself up. Darn if I know what happened. I assumed it was RCUs fault as they were having some "virus" problems just before that happened.
Wish I could help Ya......

Hey guys, it must be some kinda reverse ion polarization there in the Mile High City. LOL
I got rid of AOL, except for my email address, just using straight IE 7 now, all is good.
I sure miss Colorado, I'll be back!!!

Didn't AOL go away about the same time that 8-track tapes did?

Things are a little slow getting to "wild frontier". We still use the Pony Express once we get away from the UP tracks! We have to use windmills to power our computers!
