Okay.....I've closed down the AOL software and rebooted several times and it seems to be working correctly now, but don't know what the problem was. AOL has been acting kind of funky for several weeks. Maybe they are making tech updates??? Marilyn --------------original message------------------- In a message dated 4/28/2010 9:32:37 A.M.

When trying to send mail, it kept hanging up and wouldn't go for at least a minute. When I tried to open web pages, they hung up when they had loaded about 1/3 of the way and wouldn't go any further. This morning I can't open more than one web page at a time. If I diminish the first page and enter a new URL in the browser window to open another site, the diminished page pops up and the new site sits on top of it. Email is still hanging up when I try to open/close it and when I send an email, it just sits there with the hourglass spinning and is finally sent after a minute or two. Is anyone else having this problem or does anyone know what is going on?
