Thats what I meant

sorry, guess you beat me to it

[anxies]

how do you check for leakage then?


Also have just defragmented my system afraid it still acting up though lets me turn off abc but browser still slow and still says aol not responding when i try and turn off.
did the ctrl-alt-del and the most usage of my system says aol taking up over 40,000k on my memory and another i cant remember what it does called svchost.exe which is a system file and takes up 19,000k
thanks all for the great help.

scvhost is a bundle of system services

you can tune how much memory it uses by turning of services that arent needed

now i dont know what that aol prog is exactly, but it sounds like something aol made, hogging that much RAM, those fuckers screwed up ICQ in the same way :'( (yes, im still traumatized by that)

It's the program that connects customers to their internet service.

Another idea is not to use your AOL soft, there is no need to use the AOL software to connect to the internet if you don't want to.

If you choose to bypass it then open the control panel of your modem software, click connect and enter in your AOL username and password to the dialogue box which pops up and click enter.

At least it will solve it hogging your resources. If you do this and need to get your AOL email then go to their website and log in, there is a webmail service too.

You can't normally do that with AOL although they were apparently considering a change of policy with an update to v9.0. Has the change now been made?

I read it on a forum almost a year ago so as far as I&#39;m aware it&#39;s always been possible. Certainly my neices were using AOL 7 with a BT voyager 100 modem on an old PC, I showed them how to do it so they had one less application running and it worked fine.

If you&#39;re bypassing the Soft why would it matter what version you had?

It&#39;s never been possible until the recent beta that they came out with. The closest you could get before was to use PENG software on Linux or try and connect with a slip connection and with the slip you could only get like 33k and it failed to resolve host names uisng that type.

If you say you were doing it on anything before the 9 or 10 beta then you are fabricating or apparently confused. because it&#39;s simply not been possible.
