Richard,
In AOL; as I will re-install AOL due to freezing action of system when using AOL. Seems to be the solution judging by the above but from past experiences I stand to loose all mails and favorites.
BOAC,
"there is a choice somewhere in the uninstall regime" unfortunately means little to me. Can you expand a bit for sake. I am not very PC oriented apart from using it.
Thanks all, sofar.
