Best advice: find another ISP. You can probably find one cheaper than AOL. I was paying $10/month for "bring your own access" and not happy. Then they wanted to jack that up to $15/month, so I finally had the push to leave AOL. Guess what? My PC runs *much* faster, I no longer have printer conflicts, and life is suddenly rosy again. Little birdies in the trees sing to me. All my traffic lights are green. Whenever you're online, AOL constantly writes to your hard drive, writing over files, installing its own idea of what you need. Dump 'em. Gil "friends don't let friends use AOL"
