My AOHell Instant Messenger is becoming a huge pain. I signed on today, and then as a result, I had to restart my whole computer!   Right after it shows my buddy list, the screen turns blue and tells me to press any key to continue. My computer will still be connected to the Internet, but nothing will happen. This really sucks and I am TIRED of it!

Elizabeth, I'm no computer genius, but that is knowns as the blue screen of death.

I was getting it because I have some sort of internal error, and I think it's in my IE.

The only thing I am sure of, is that's not a good thing.

Hmmmm....I think it could be AOL too.
I've been having the same blasted screen come up.

I've switched to Earthlink. It's cheaper, I can use my own browser, don't have to have that stupid AOL page up all the time. And, they gave me a digital camera for free.
Nothing fancy, but hey....it works.
And you can still use the AOL IM (AIM) with out AOL!

AOL is a tool of the devil (I know, he told me one night while over at my house drinking and playing cards.) I definitely think you should free yourself from the eternal damnation it promises and go with a more reliable ISP. Earthlink is a good one, as Irie said, and so are about a million of them out there! Anything but AOHELL!

The 'blue screen of death' is right. I have gotten so tired of this going on, maybe I will try that Earthlink thing. I also have MSN messenger, and that works fine.

Oh and Christopher...good luck...I'd tell you I hope you get your position, but I'm not sure about that!
