Help with AOL

[ajbrooke]

Hopefully somebody can help me out. I am having problems with AOL. I have the 9.0 security edition SE. Since upgrading to 9.0 I have had constant problems with it. I have noticed my computer running slowly, I sometimes have to re-enter my password several times, and sometimes it locks up. When I log off of AOL I have noticed that running in the background (when I hit Ctl Alt Delete) that AOL is still running. I am thinking that this may be the cause to some of the problems and am wondering if I can fix it and how. If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it.

I'm with ezupevec as far as going back to a previous version of AOL.
I thiink 9 is specivically geared toward broadband connections.

If you have an AOL CD;

INSTALL THE AOL VERSION OF YOUR CHOICE FROM AN AOL CD
THE CD will contain at least four versions of AOL

Put the disk in you CD or DVD Drive and Hold the “Shift” Key down.
This should open the disc’s directory in Windows Explorer. If the
Autostart program loads despite these efforts click “Cancel” and
“yes” when prompted to exit the install program. Either open
Windows Explorer or My Computer and select AOL CD-Rom which
Will contain different AOL versions, if you do not see them, they are
Hidden.

In Win 98SE, Choose View—Folder Options-View and check
“Show all files under Hidden Files, Click OK.

IN Win 2000, Me and XP, select Tools-Folders-Folder Options
View, check “Show hidden files and folders” under “Hidden Files” and click OK.

Then to install a version of AOL, find its folder and double click on the setup
Program incon in that folder. THE CD will contain at least four versions of AOL..

AOL Versions

AOL 9

AOL 8

AOL 7

AOL 6

If you want to order the CD Version of AOL 8, I think the only thing you or your client can do, is to sign on to AOL and go to "Live Help" put that into your Keyword Box and then you have to ask one of the Techs to order it for you, I tried to find a web page where you can order it, but they told me the only way to to ask for it or you could also call, but I have found the on line "Live Help" at least a little more responsive.
