Glad its working for you but if I recollect several sites reports problems with AOL 7 to 9.If AOL user you dont have to use there supplied software,you can just make a connection with your user-name and password with the windows wizard.Then you are free to use what browser you like IE or opera etc,do a search on net on how to do it.
I just tried to reply to another thread and got the timeout again. AOL sucks.
Edit--this got through though. AOL still sucks.

Yes got to agree AOL software is a POS now like I said you do not have to use the AOL software,in-fact I would get rid of it.But even thats hard to do without some on-line help,once its on your PC a bugger to get off.Try this if you are going to stick with AOL browser.
TO CLEAR THE WEB BROWSER CACHE AND REBUILD THE AOL ADAPTOR.
A damaged Web browser cache and/or a damaged AOL Adaptor may cause this issue. Windows© networking requires that a network adaptor exist for any application that must access the Internet. The AOL software uses the AOL Adaptor to access the Internet.
1. Sign off and close the AOL software.
2. On the Windows task-bar next to the clock, click the AOL© icon, then click SYSTEM INFORMATION....
NOTE: If the AOL icon is not displayed, click the START button, select PROGRAMS or ALL PROGRAMS, select AMERICA ONLINE, then click AOL SYSTEM INFORMATION.
3. Click the OK button.
4. Click the UTILITIES tab.
5. In the BROWSER section, next to CURRENT CACHE, click the CLEAR button until the Current Cache Size reads 0 KB.
6. In the AOL UTILITIES section, next to AOL ADAPTOR, click the REBUILD button.
7. Click the OK button.
8. Click the CLOSE button.
9. Restart the computer and launch the AOL software again. The AOL Adaptor will be rebuilt
