Problems installing AOL

[Wallace]

I decided to register on AOL to get a free month on anytime access. Registered fine, but have spent hours trying to get the software to work. It seems to log on okay, and I can read my emails, but I can't get onto any webpage at all - nothing happens I have had to go back to payasyougo and good old internet explorer just to get mumsnet. ANyone help?

Don't do it!!! Your pc will never be the same again!!!

AOL does tend to hijack your PC a little.

there should be a topic on AOL help for this - type in keyword 'help' or look on AOL help on the top menu bar?

Believe me, I'm regretting it now...the trouble I had trying to get on without AOL taking over...I wouldn't mind so much if only I could use it !!!

I had loads of trouble but there was a helpline which was great, and it was free! Is there any number like that in your pack? In the ens I had to move my pc to another room as the signal wasn't strong enough- too many phone lines in my house.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think I will leave it for the night and try it again in the morning...Haven't got the enegry for a battle with my pc right now
