Hi, One day with a high speed connection and things are running, although not always smoothly. It is taking quite a long time to start up AOL and sign on. I downloaded ZoneAlarm for the firewall. I am constantly getting messages if I want to allow access to sites. Some of these I recognize, others I do not. I did allow access for AOL. But why does it take so long to bring up the AOL sign on page? Sometimes the computer freezes. Don't know if that is AOL, the internet connection or the computer. Any words of advice or encouragement? Thanks Judy
