i dont particularly like 9 and indeed preferred 7 took me a while to get used to 9 had to load it when i changed the pooter as i couldnt find a disc with 8 on, still got a 6 disc i use as a coaster for me coffee when on here :D

the loon:
I would try a full virus scan as well as friend had similar problem but was due to a virus not browser/ISP

robbie:
I dont like ANYTHING with AOL associated with it!!! Much prefer using anything else really.

If you ever suspect that Explorer is causing issue, you can load Firefox instead from http://www.mozilla.org and try using that. It doesnt cure evrything butis better in some ways than IE

Andy.:
Im running on version 9, never had any real issue with either 8 or 9  :?:

Does from time to time freeze, close then restart. Have you checked all your settings, anti virus etc.

If you use System Restore make sure you have backed up all those important files made after the restore point or you will loose them.

I often found shutting every thing down and restarting the PC cured most problems.

Well, chequered history of AOL asside...

Default solution in this case is to download a "spyware" searching type program, AOL is especially good at accepting these sorts of things, regardless of their advertising :-.

I would (in this order)

Empty the download cache / run the hard disk cleanup wizard that's in windows, it might not help, but then again, it might.

Check that your virus definitions are up to date & perform a virus scan

download a suitable spyware searching program, "spybot search and destroy" is suitably effective, although it does perhaps add more importance to cookies than I would.

try booting the machine in "safe mode", oddly enough this does more than fail to load the graphics drivers, why this helps is a mystery best left to Microsoft to explain, but hey ho :)

Once you've done that merry lot, get back to us if it's still no better :(
