Problem opening links..(it freezes)
I've had a problem recently when trying to load up a website or link.
Usually if trying to view a few pages, i will right click on the link and open new window. Normally they would open up fine, but recently a new window opens but it freezes and nothing comes up, just blank.
I cant even close this window and retry. Even the links on the original page dont work if i manage to bring it back to the front!
I have AOL v8 and before had v7. Never had the problem before, only recently so i thought upgrading to v8 might fix it.
Using Win98 and the problem also occurs with Internet explorer.
Sometimes its trouble free or i can go through a few pages before it freezes, others its the first few times. It cant be the internet connection as i have messenger loaded up and can still use that after it stops.
In case it helps: Read on past postings it maybe AOL's browser cache..cleared it..no change.
HELP!

Hi boeingbus2002
I've had loads of similar problems since installing AOL 8.
This morning I had to do a system restore so I could get the front page of AOL visible on the computer.
I couldnt even clear the AOL cache, the prog just freezes.
I'm running WIN XP.
Sorry I'm as clueless as you are.
