More boilerplate

Dear Member,

Thank you for your query today. We are always more than happy to help with any problems that might arise.

Kindly accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience you may have had on AOL.

For the problems you have been experiencing, we recommend that you try the steps listed below to ensure that everything is fine at your end. It is advised that you print this email before you continue as you may need to close AOL for troubleshooting and this will prevent you from reading the required steps.Kindly note that I tried accessing the webpage that you were refering to and it opened with the same speed in AOL as well as Internet Explorer. However, kindly be assured that I shall certainly investigate the issue that you have reported.


STEPS TO DELETE THE AOL ADAPTER .


1 This may be a problem with a damaged AOL Adapter. This is the file that connects AOL to the Internet Explorer on your computer. If we remove it, AOL will build a new one, and you should be all ready to get back on the WEB. :-)

2 Click on START, select Programs, select AOL, then click on AOL SYSTEM INFORMATION. The AOL system information tool will open. This will take a moment as the tool gathers information about your computer.

3 When the AOL System Information tool is open, click on the UTILITIES tab. Click on UNINSTALL AOL ADAPTER. AOL will update, then you will be prompted to restart the computer.

4 If you are prompted to insert your Windows CD, insert the CD, then follow the on-screen prompts. Click on YES to restart the computer. When the computer restarts, launch AOL. If you are prompted to restart again, click on Restart Now.

5 You may be prompted to restart several times. Click on Restart Now each time, until AOL launches normally. The computer restarts several times to rebuild the AOL Adapter files.

DISK DEFRAGMENTER

The more you save and delete files, the more fragmented a disk becomes and the more resources it takes to locate items. There's a utility to defragment your hard disk.


Click START, choose PROGRAMS (or ALL PROGRAMS), choose ACCESSORIES, choose SYSTEM TOOLS, and then click DISK DEFRAGMENTER. Click ANALYZE or OK. The program determines whether defragmentation is necessary.

Depending on the size of the disk and its condition, defragmenting can take time. You may want to start the defragment process when you are done using the computer for the day and let it run overnight.

Defragmenting works best if no other applications are open. Therefore, close any open programs, including AOL and virus detectors, before starting the defragment process.


Click on the Start button->Settings->Control Panel->Internet options->Settings Tab->Click on view files->Press Ctrl + A ->then press Delete.

May we also ask you Click on the Start button->Settings->Control Panel->Internet options->Delete Cokies ->OK -> Delete Files-> Put a check mark on all the Offline Contenet ->OK -> Clear History -> Apply - OK .
