It might be worth trying to pinpoint exactly when this happens and make notes and notify tech support. Joan You are talking about those annoying ads blinking and flashing at the bottom of the mailbox page and the emails as you read them? If so, I have been thinking they were the cause. But I am sure AOL will never take those away. I have finally figured out a way to adjust the size of the window of the mailbox and email so I don't see them but have the complete email on my screen with the ad hidden. I can't stand that flashing and blinking, it gives me headaches. I had to do something. Connie
