Thanks for the replies and the info.

Had an interesting experience with this issue. Tried to run an anti-virus program (TrendMicro Housecall) to see if a virus was involved, and Housecall took forever to download, and then kept getting hung up scanning C:\_Restore.... files.

So, disabled System Restore in Windows Me, restarted the PC, and decided to start AOL again.

Guess what, no more freezes, goes from page to page without hang ups, the Housecall scan went through smoothlly, downloaded a couple of programs without a glitch.

Might leave things as they are for a while, and see how it goes. If trouble brews up again, will consider your suggestions.

Thanks again.
