I dont think its a provider you need to look at Doris, maybe you need to do some housework on your pc, for starters, your on aol, at the top of your screen you will see aol keyword, click on that, type in, securefix, when did you last run anti virus or a defrag, install crap cleaner, its free, disc clean up, empty your browser, to name a few.

just trying to help

The recent problems unfortunately have had everything to do with AOL and the poor proxy cacheing facilities they use - it seems they don't refresh it anywhere near often enough, so it's well out of date. If you want to stick with AOL dump their browser and use something better...

fair comment Nigel, but my answer to Doris was before looking at other providers and perhaps taking her problems with her, do some pc housework, as mentioned above, its very rare i get any probs with aol, simply because i look after my pc, and if i do, then simple, minimise aol, and use int explorer, all im trying to do here is be of help if i can.

Might sound thick here :- " but how do you defrag ? please :*

 

[LasVegasNo1]

All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter :thumbsup:

It can take a while to do it's 'defragmenting' :- "

Not thick at all, this is what im implying, nobody can just sit at there computer and expect trouble free surfing or whatever, you have to look after it, have we all got up to date anti virus, firewall, reg cleaners, mru blaster, loads of stuff i can mention, and its all free, microsoft updates, my comp is set to download any critical updates to keep it running free of trouble, i can honestly say hands on heart, and by the way im on dial up, that my pc runs great, in safe mode thats how i run a disc defragmenter, and my anti virus, with sysem restore turned OFF, never forget to turn system restore back ON when finished.

OMG Jax, do you mean to say you dont Defrag (w00t)

You mad impetuous fool you

 

[BeeJay]

It does sound horrible doesn't it.

For windows XP Go to programs, then Accessories, then system tools and Disk defrag is on the list.

 

[JAX]

you lot are so good to me :huggles: :cheers:

 

[doris]

BeeJay - thanks for advice re: page 404 - I found it really informative

to answer previous questions about my pc - I don't know much about technical stuff, but I do defrag every once in a while, and when I remember to do that, I do most of the other system tools as well

its just been the last few days and its not getting any better, so don't really know what to do now :wacko:

 

[BeeJay]

I'm glad that you found it useful Doris. :thumbsup:

Numerous things to try Doris, heres a few simple ones, on your desk top, right click the aol icon, then click on system information, then click on utilities, then clear the browser cache, on the same page, uninstall the aol adapter, shut the page down, now your back on your desktop, sign on to aol, you will see new adapter files being installed, sign on to aol, once signed on, go to aol keyword at top of your screen, click on it and type in, secure fix, now restart aol.

Thats just for starters, lots of free programmes, to keep your comp running smoothly

Actually Doris,I'd say ditch aol.I used to be with freeserve/wanadoo.When David moved in,he pays for our isp,and,he wanted aol.

Had nothing but hassle with them.

I can't post any new topics on K9,and, other sites are completely in-accessible,by trying to simplify stuff,they've actually made it harder.I am going to try and get him to change.........I've found their service crap,they are useless at refreshing their cacheing system,the history thing is hogwash,I could never recomend them.Their sleazy chat room's are gross,aol are imo an absolute pain in the ass.Stuff that should take seconds to do,takes ages by going through their exagerated, complicated way of doing anything.......I really dislike aol..........

When we are paying them to provide an internet service,they should look after their customer's better.Will try and get him to change our isp.

For removing spyware, bots, dialers etc etc Spybot - Search & Destroy

It also fixes some small holes in that leaky cauldron affectionately known as Internet Explorer... speaking of browsers Opera is neat, easy to use and now also free! It is a better choice for the more elderly computers than sizzling hot Firefox or security challanged Internet Explorer.
