AOL 7.0 and XP

Hi
i have just upgraded to AOL 7.0 but now it will not dial up but keeps crashing my system does anyone have a clue how to stop this .i also have btopenworld which i have no problems with what so ever and that's how i got to post this thread

thanks

 

According to this article at PCWorld.com, XP and 7.0 should be compatible. It would be worth uninstalling and reinstalling AOL 7.0, especially if it was an upgrade over the top of an earlier version.

 

Works fine for me but I don't dial up, I go through TCPIP when I use it which is rare.

 

hi
i have gone into my control panel to uninstall but the aol is not there .so what can i do now? it's still on my system as it is on my task bar
i am at a loss do i just redownload it over the top of what is already there or is this a waste of time ??????
thanks for your replies
