can't get aol 8 to install properly. downloaded it first, and it had problems, waited ages for the cd to arrive, only to find it worse. tech support blame old modem drivers, (one of their favourite things to blame).

BTW, my error message is VMM(01) +0000BC5D error 0E:0028:0000CC5D. look similar? also in sys info object 11025 consistantly fails to load.

because aol uses an adaptor to piggyback IE, there is supposedly conflict with old drivers. mine are the latest available for my modem. they advised installing in safe mode. so their advice: buy a new modem if you want aol8. can't be arsed. broadband beckons in the next year anyway.

also, i someone i know has been given price reduction from £15.99 to £12.99 for 'loyal long time custom'. anyone else got this?

aol is a strange ISP, but on dial up/unlimited/no disconnection after 2 hours, and i don't use BT, they deliver the goods generally. as soon as i'm on i open IE6 and browse from there anyway.

got 'staylive' click here and panicware pop-up stopper.
