    What kind of error messages? You'll have to explain in more detail.. /verbose, man. A quick "pun" answer would be you're using AOL. :) That's impossible to say from the information given, though. Be more specific.

    all I know is with aol it says waol_illegal operation. I will have to come back later after I find out exactly what my error messages are

    Which version of AOL are you using at the moment? I suspect rather than the fault being with Windows its more likely to be with the AOL software.

    but as T-Rex stated if you can give us the full error message it may help to narrow the answers down.

    Definately reinstall AOL. But first UNINSTALL AOL from the add/remove programs. And always install VIA a CD. If you don't have one, ask a neighbor !!! Chances are, if they got running water, and electricity, they got AOL disks too. LOL And as ROBO suggested, go with 8.0.
    It has a "computer checkup" utility, that really works. 8.0 must log errors or something, cuz I experimented with the check-up utility by unplugging my phone line, and losing my connection. Then plugged it back in, signed back on, and ran the "checkup". Sure enough, the check-up said " It has been detected that you recently lost your internet connection. Would you like to start the auto-fix ? " I clicked "yes", and away it went. It proceded to uninstall and reinstall stuff all by itself. Like ROBO said, there are a lot of perks. The heaven sent "pop-up" control is excellent, as well as something called "companion", which gives you a visual tally of how many emails are in your inbox. I think ROBO really likes it, he just won't admit it. :)

    I'm in a suburb of Worcester ROBO. As you are with AOL, I'm stuck here (due to family). It's nice here, BUT too expensive to live. Surf the net for house prices and rents here. You'll be shocked. Pretty bad when ya got 150 grand saved up, and can't afford to buy a house !! It's sad. A lot of people are moving out of Mass. :(

    actually I am using aol 8.0. I found software that decodes the error messages...... so I will try that for a bit. I havent seen no more yet... (keeping fingers crossed), plus a friend had told me to use ad-aware 6.0... thats what brought me here. Thanks you all, I'm just still trying to learn about this complicated machine, lol
