Well we all know AOL sux and ..... That's that. Are you running Aol's crappy proprietary software? I've known several ppl who had the same problem until they changed ISP's. Does AOL still use their own client/ protocol? If so you'll probably have to scrub those also. Haven't had much personal experience with AOL in 8 yrs or so, so that's the extent of the help I can offer.

Oh BTW, did I mention that AOL sucks?
