[WEB4LIB] RE: AOL 6 and proxy access problems?

[Daniel Messer]

I don't know how the student obtained his copy of AOL 6. However, if he 
downloaded it there's a chance it may be buggy. I myself use AOL from time to 
time and I downloaded the upgrade from 5 to 6 as soon as it became available. 
I experienced multiple problems ranging from Buddy Lists not loading to 
sudden boots to not being able to connect to servers I knew for a fact were 
up and working. (Yahoo.com does not crash out very often.) I uninstalled and 
snagged a free CD from Office Depot and installed from that. It seems to be 
working fine now and I've been using it for some time.

Regards,
Dan
