I am having trouble connecting to AOL. This only happens for one of the four
user accounts on my desktop. Of the four two are administrators and two are
standard users. The user that is having the difficulty is the second
administrator. What happens is that she can sign on the as soon as you hear
the "Welcome" AOL freezes up. After about 10 to 15 seconds it will boot
itself off and then try to reconect. This continues until I manually close
the auto re-log on of AOL. I have re-installed AOL VR multiple times to no
avail and AOL's support has been useless. I would just get rid of it and
access my AOL through Internet Explorer but my wife prefers AOL. Any thoughts
or suggestions?

I don't exactly know for certain but it may be because there are 2
Administrator accounts; I'm no expert but is it possible that the computer
isn't powerful enough, or it's just not meant to have 2 Administrator
accounts? A possible solution might be to delete the second Administrator
account then shut down and then reboot.

AOL tried to sell their crap in Spain. It didn't make it to first base
and neither is Vista.

Dumping AOL has been a useful and good idea since AOL first came out.

But you want to waste time...

you are using vista, remember?

If you want my advice use XP and forget about Vista

stop fooling around with trash OS and use something that is productive

You might try creating another admin account and see if AOL works properly
there. It is sometimes easier to create a new account than to fix an
existing account, and get rid of the bad one when you have the new one set
up as you like it. When done, I think you can rename the account to
whatever you want, but you may not be able to rename the underlying folders.
Hopefully someone will confirm or refute this.

He y thanks Greg, it worked! I don't know why Vista/AOL has a problem with
having more than one Admin, XP didn't but it did solve the problem. It's nice
to see that someone out there knows how to try and help people instead of
espousing their own personal agendas. Keep up the good work!!
