(RCSD) OT - I am back

I have been out of touch for a short period and the retturn may be
short lived.
I changed servers to Verizon and there has been nothing but trouble
since. Verizon has crashed twice, the last time taking OE and IE with
it. I know I have 51 messages in my AOL mail box but cannot get access
to AOL.
I may have to forget about retrieving anything from AOL and only use
Verizon.
I don't like Verizon at all. With AOL each address had its own
favorites and address book, not so with Verizon, everything goes to
the master screen name.
Folliwing the two crashes I found AOL 7.0, 9.0, 9.0 VR and 9.1
installed on my computer. I have never had 7.0. The 9.0 VR may be the
Verizon free AOL and the 9.1 may be the updated version. With the free
AOL there is no updates or anything else except mail.
I just may format the hard drive and start over with dial-up.

I don't understand your problem?
What has dial up, and broadband have to do with your
problems with your (presumed) "email client"

Stay with your broadband, which seems to me to be
common sense, just hunt around for a decent "email client"
that is, an email/news interface that you are comfortable with,
My nerdy son seems to adore Mozilla Firefox, whilst I remain
loyal to Outlook Express.

Once you have done that, email me offlist, and I'll give
you a free News reader source server, and you'll
be a happy camper.

Back to dial up? no way Jose.

I don't understand the problem either, I just know that Verizon is
much harder and takes twice as long as the old dial up and AOL. At
present I do not have OE, IE or AOL is a usable fashon. I'm working on
it.

Did Verizon have you install some program?

OTW it would be a problem with your termination of AOL, a noted 'hook'
installer (guarantees -=they're=- the 'default' and usually has incomplete
removal.

IF you're running both - bad idea!

If you've terminated AOL 'service', then most likely your messages are gone.

'Broadband' never guarantees any actual speed, however, it never should be
worse than a very good dial-up.

Further, he may have his anti-virus on realtime, which slows the PC
down about 30% or more...

Could very well be and I suspect the Firewall may be doing some
blocking of its own.

These are common problems we face because the software many times
isn't real-time optimized. I turn off my resident scan in favor of a
better throughput.

That said, I do monitor my PC - maybe far too much - by scanning
frequently when working with stamps.

Good advice - he's heard it several times.

But, he won't change. He's the "old One", remember?

I did not have problems when I had dial-up and paid for AOL. I was
happy without Broadband and do not see why it excites prople.
Been there, done that, not happily. TB, CEO and owner of Frontier.net
suggested I try them. They do not service my area.
