    Angry AOL

    Has anyone ran into a problem with installing AOL (I know, who hasn't) I am installing AOL on a Dell Laptop, freshly reloaded with 98. Everytime I try to load AOL, it gets to a point where it says it is "Updating screen names (100%)" then it just freezes... This happens no matter which way you install it. Any ideas???

    Thanks!

    Haven't you ever seen The Quest For the Holy Grial?!?!?!?!!? Anyway, if is Win98se, then when it locks up ctrl+alt+del and install agian in "C:\America Online6.0a" and don't uninstall the first one, just leave it. If it is just win98, then install 5.0 'cause 6.0 only works right with win98se! I know it stupid, but so is AOL, and if the 6.0 still doesn't work, try a different 6.0 cd, let me now what happens
