Okay...Lately , while I am online, my computer will "freeze", with blue AOL bar at top of SCREEN turning grey, and curser vanishing.  A click of the mouse will correct problem for a few moments.  Now, AOL will stop responding altogether, usually while reading emails, or while opening welcome page is being viewed, and it requires a C+A+D to close program and start AOL again.
Strange, like while I am TYPING this, if the "freeze" happens, the blue goes grey, curser vanishes, but little smiley faces still roll their eyes, blink, etc.  This "thing" seems to slowly stop happening the longer I am online.  But, close and restart AOL, same thing again.

Any ideas?

Oh yeah...I have already removed and reinstalled AOL using a new disc...same thing. BubbaBob......Have you ensured that you have not been visited by some NASTIES ....... I would be booting into safe mode ,turn off system restore and run a complete scan for viruses , trojans and spyware .
Do not use your system restore ......just in case its a virus or trojan issue.

dl65  Yep that happen to me before, becasue i visited some sort of UNDERGROUND site and it start F**kin up on AOL
The way i fix this is Formatting the computer but before that i image the computer first.
You dont have to formatt it ( i know is supid ) but it always work fine after ward or you can go in DOS mode and fix the error from there (still i havent have the knowlege to do it).Okay, I think i'll try that.  I just picked up another AOL disc, just in case, and reloaded...same thing, and getting worse.  Going into safe mode now.  Thanks...i'll let you know the outcome.Wo you dont want to do that yet
