Why would you want to use the AOL browser anyway? The only thing that it (putatively) achieves is a speed increase by compressing the data at their end before sending it down the pipe to you.

However, with modern web pages the speed gain is minimal. Text is fairly incompressible, and modern JPegs don't have much squish room either.

Bin the AOL software (which I've found to be buggy and insecure anyway) and just use another browser, Firefox or Opera are pretty good and less resource hungry than I.E.
