    I had the same kind of problem with AOL. I would get random disconnects. For absolutly no reason at all it would crash, then the gay-little window would pop up and attempt to reconnect. I was on dial-up at the time and did everything I could find to try and fix, even so far as to have the phone company come to check for frayed/damaged lines. On the same comp/phoneline I installed a free-trial on MSN, no problems at all. In my opinion AOL is slacking with service/support. I have since switched to Road Runner and have never been happier. With so many options for an ISP out there, why keep trying to fix it. Even Wal-Mart has internet for less than half of what AOL charges.

    Yep, you are so right ddp.

    In my own development with state of the art homes, they piped in Fiber Optic phone cables and Bellsouth didn’t want to flip the bill for special hardware to allow ADSL. The cable company was also owned by the original developer and they didn’t have Broadband cable. First I had ISDN lines at a big chunk of money, then purchased a satellite setup from Direcway, (spelling correct,) for even more money with an up speed of 25k on a good day, and downloads around 500 with a tremendous lag time, and you hoped that it didn’t rain. Then finally after 5 years, two years ago, we got our choice of either ASDL at 3,000 down or Cable now with 5,000 down.

    Do yourself a favor and delete AOL 9.0 completely and just use their dialup to get to the web, pulling any email that way instead.

    When I switched to cable I also upgraded to AOL 9.0, my computer would freeze also. I no longer have AOL, no longer have computer freezes.
