Judy- Simple solution: Facebook and its apps will ONLY interfere with the AOL software if you use the integrated AOL browser for Facebook and its apps. Use Firefox or Chrome or ANY other independent browser other than IE and you won't have any trouble at all with AOL. Joan In a message dated 1/27/2010 11:35:00 A.M.

I'm on dial up, with 9.0 SE & Windows XP. Also, the last few days, I haven't been able to get into Pogo games. It says 'loading' but never completes. Yesterday, I decided to try IE's separate browser & I was able to load the game. I've cleaned out my cache, temp files, history, & Java cache daily. Also defragged every few days. Any ideas? Judy
