You don't need to install AOL anything to get AOL broadband.

Uninstall it and see... ideally you should have a router but if all you have
is a crappy usb modem just enter the aol username and password into the
modem config..

That's right you've got to get the alchohol to blood levels just right
after a tough day at work ;-)

I have a Spanish XP, Compaq Presario 2565EA, AOL/NTL and i am often a
times continually losing the connection usually 10 - 15 mins. We hav
changed the modem; NTL say the line is good. I have checked for sp
ware; I have installed the McAfee software. I have limited the program
that could run at inicio. The line is fast. Since I want to listen t
internet radio, the connection is useless. I need some help and mayb
some cheap/ free software so I can monitor the disconnections. I a
suspicious of the AOL software v.9. I have a Spanish XP but surely thi
shouldn´t be a problem. I would appreciate any help

I was always taught that I had to have my steak well-done, in order to
keep the level of blood in my alcohol stream under control.

Too much blood, I was told, and I might become "sober"... not to mention
all those dangerous free radicals given out by the oxygen it carries!

The only downside, of course, is that if I have a break in my skin, I
can't go to the petrol station...

Certainly brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "My blood is
boiling"...

Not true - as he is running AOL on NTL he is using a cable modem (or
through a set top box?), but if he was running NTL solely, and doesn't
explicitly state he is on cable, he could be using a BT phone line for
ADSL.
