Yes, you're right that I have an a/c with AOL. Like a poster on another thread, I've never had problems with them and get a solid 7+Meg download. However... I wasted a morning doing just that, but the AOL site is such a mess that I couldn't find anything relevant. (link probably hidden among the adverts.) So...

I fired up the 'doesn't matter if it crashes' old lappy and clicked the link, and it seems to be honest, just encouraging people to tidy up their internet settings. Since W7 blessit created the log-on stuff for me automatically, I seem already to have what they recommend.

Anyhoo, the change in policy seems to be targetted for Tuesday, so we shall see...
