Webuser Forums: Problems exiting AOL

Try this click on the Start button to bring up the start menu

Next find the "run" box and open that copy this word into that box Msconfig

Window will open and there are several tabs on the Top click on the one called Startup (on the far Rightside0

There is a list in the Window now scan down it and tell us if both AOLDial is there? Top of the list and AOL 9.0 Tray Icon is also present (near the bottom)?
Is either Unticked? If the answer is yes then tick the box then press the Apply button then the Ok button to save and exit

If no joy get your AOL 9.0 disk out and install again but do Not delete the older versions if asked (do it later when the issue is fixed)
Sign on as a "current member" and fingers crossed both the Icons will appear (the Square icon is the Older version)
Next do a Restart .Has both the Icons appeared?
Then proceed as in the earlier posting
If this does not work some how you will have to get hold of an older version of a AOL 9 promotion Disk the preinstalled versions are usless! I delete them and Install again using any AOL9 Disk from my spares and It works first time

Another method is to uninstall AOL altogeter (in the Control Panel and have you disk to hand if it offers to save you file say "Yes" then reinstall and the file are installed on the new ""install "

But the Big question is did it generate a square or triangle (connection link? (or both?)
And Do note there are a couple of automatic connectivity updates loaded as you sign off
after installing ,unknown if you shut down your computer suddenly, when you have finished surfing the link was here?

Do pause for 10 seconds to see if there is any activity? 1st shutdown only

If you have the Autofix service ( AOL one click fixes on the start Menu)enabled locate this one on the list and Press the "fix it for me" button agaist it to start the wizard
