I am on aol right now so i feel your pain


Bit of help needed?? - cheaptrick - 05-28-2004

I've done firewalls/virus check/spy sweep and cleared internet files..
Nothing worked so i windows restored..
Yeah Right!!....No kin joy still in a freeze...
Last chance was Aol 8.0,bloody good piece of kit and that's what i'm running on..
Figure it's something to do with 9.0,w hich in my opinion is a piece of shit...
Lost all contact with Anothersite,passwords everything knackered..... Sad

Still not to worry i'm still on the train!!........ :dev:

Have you tried getting in contact with your service provider . It could be a problem with your cable connection .. But if you lost all your another site stuff thats more like you have a trojan in your comp . See your comp just dont pick one site to take out it takes out everything.

I used to do onsite service for AOL.

First of all, I ran AOL for years and never had problems.

The biggest issue relating to your question I saw was too many versions of AOL. People would upgrade and never remove older versions.

Try going to control panel and choose add/remove programs. Choose remove AOL. It searches for all versions. If you have multiple versions IE: 5.0/6.0/7.0/8.0, you need to remove all older versions.

Also if you can edit the registry, do a search for "AOL 6.0" as an example and delete all entries to this older version. Remove all folders with older version.

You can also save your bookmarks and emnail addys and completely remove aol. delete your network adapters. Edit the registry and remove all folders. Reboot.

You will then reinstall your adapters and then reinstall the current version of AOL.

Try that, if not then I will try to think of some other issues.

I don't think you;d want someone unexperienced messing with the registry...unless Cheap knows some stuff.
