Re: AOL

>>>> This has been a much talked about issue on the Langa List, if I
remember correctly Fred Langa (of Browsertune fame) had some posts on
his newsletter than spelled out how to fix this issue, minimize the
damage etc etc etc. Apparently the install puts an amazing LOAD of crud
on the machine and Win9x doesn't like a lot of it.  Might be worth the
research. http://www.langa.com  If you go to his search function .. I
think  it was in
the last three or four months that this issue popped up<<<

I found this, which was not very encouraging:

Apparently, the AOL installation deliberately messes with system files
unnecessarily, and does so in a manner that reduces the computers'
ability to smoothly network or to connect to other ISPs.
