Wireless Internet: AOL 9.0 and Internet Explorer 7.0
AOL 9.0 and Internet Explorer 7.0
by HakanPet - 12/21/06 6:37 AMI have recently downloaded the IE 7.0 over the internet and since then accessing the internet through AOL (broadband) has been extremely slow; loading their home page has taken nearly 5 - 6 min whereas before it was almost instantaneous. I have run a spyware detection, virus detection removed and reinstalled the AOL software, completed the basic repair facilities built into their software and nothing changes. I have also been onto Dell who completed a remote diagnostic operation and removed a large number of unnecessary files.
If I go on to AOL through the IE it works fine but I can't access my favorites etc that I have with AOL.
Any bright ideas (short of changing ISP)
(NT) Go back to IE6.

I agree!
Not only did my system slow down (a different ISP), but it kept altering its own properties from "never dial a connection"(I'm on broadband) to "dial whenever a network connection is not present" and then flash up the dial-up window. Weird!!!
Go back to IE6

just a suggestion

IE 7.0 and AOL 9.0
by HakanPet - 12/25/06 12:01 PM In reply to: just a suggestion by the 4077thI contacted Dell and with them established that part of the problem was the new windows live and various associated parts of the IE that appeared to take over from AOL. Having taken those out my system is back in good working order. Another thing was hat I had several spyware programs essentially doing the same thing as McAfee and they went as well.
