Having trouble connecting to AOL or Compuserve. I was disconnected, dial-up was real slow or would not connect, and dial up seemed very slow. I found a fix that seems to work. Go to start, Find, Files & folders, Type in global.org then find. Highlight the global.org files and hit delete on keyboard. These files pile up and get very large. After deleting these you have to do a minor set-up to get back on AOL or Compuserve (phone #'s, etc.)To me it is worth it!!
Hope this helps, TW

Hi AZ,
Tahts ok I use Compuserve until I get my cable modem. It is considerably better than AOL ( even though AOL owns them) Knock on wood I have had great success with CS

Good Idea
TW56,
You will Love Fast Internet. I can download 70 Megs in about 3 Minute's. And Web Pages pop right up. I use @Home. Here in Phoenix it's Cox Communications.
Good luck and have a Great Day,
