You will have to phone aol to get a result for this. Any thing from they want more money to they want more money. You could try to uninstall aol and reinstall as that sometimes solves the problem. uninstall from the add remove programs in control panel for best results. ps I am not an aol fan as I donot understand why people will pay more for an already paid for service?

You don't need to reinstall AOL. The problem is that AOL corrupts the winsock. First delete your cache files. To repair all you do is go to the control panel and open network properties then uninstall all the dialup related apdaters and protocols. Most will say AOL in the name. After the computer restarts just open AOL and it will automatically reinstall the needed conponents. If this doesn't get it call AOL and sit on hold.

The Solution is very simple:
1.If you have Win95/Win98/Win Me sign on to AOL and Go to Keyword: webutil7.Download the patch on to your desktop.Sign off AOL,Close AOL and run that patch.

2.If you have Win2000/Win XP,Go to start->run->Type 'services'.And start the following services and put their start up type to automatic:
@telephony
@Remote Access auto connection manager.
@Remote Access connection manager.
@Remote Procedure call
@Plug and Play.

Best of luck !:)
