AOL 8.0 restarts computer

I an working on a computer for a family member. The problem the computer is having is that it restarts after you click on the AOL icon. When the icon for AOL is clicked, I get the AOL window, then the screen goes black and the computer restarts.

This is computer is running Windows 98.
Any suggestion on how to fix this problem work be appreciated?

Uninstall 8.0 and install an earlier version. The farther you go back, the better it will get along with Win98.
