Are you using AOL's software? If you are I would suggest that you uninstall it, you don't need AOL's software to connect. You can connect faster and easier using any browser (for example Firefox, IE or Google Chrome). I found that using AOL's crappy browser slowed my PC down and caused loss of connection. Better still use another ISP.
