First, make sure the cache is empty, the temp files have been dumped and the recycle bin is empty. Second, if you have Norton SystemWorks, use it to get rid of cookies and fix errors and optimize your hard drive. (If you don't have Norton, you should probably get it.) Third, use one or more free anti-spyware programs to make sure there isn't any spyware clogging things up. <br><br>If all that doesn't make it run better, replace it!<br><br>Karen<br><br>P.S.

Connecting to AOL is a work of art/patience and loading pages is akin to riding a beach donkey.

He may rear a bit, but he usually stops running. ;-) Sounds like you hit a malicious website that bombards you with browser spam (a program gets launched that opens window upon window upon window), a virus, or AOL is acting up...I get that endless "Your program has encountered an error..." and hitting ok or the red X just give you a new error and that annoying DING and you can't end the program or close it and everything else is frozen...I've been there. Unplug, run a scan disk, defrag, delete temp files and internet cache, and then the PC Checkup tool to repair AOL. Then you work until the next time the error crops up.
