    Does anyone know how to prevent the idle message box from popping up on AOL. I am a broadband user and like to leave myself always connected, but if I don't move the curser or type for awhile this annoying popup box appears and I have to aknowledge it and close the box. I'd like to set my AOL to avoid this. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi envirossf

    Follow this Google Search. There appears to be many users with the same annoyance, with a variety of solutions available. I'm sure some AOL users will chime in and provide some tried and true favorites.

    Thanks Dennis,

    I used the link to download and it eliminated the problem.

    envirossf--When I finally quit AOL, they asked me why. I told them, among other things, how I disliked the idle window/disconnect. They say "Oh, we could have fixed that for you ". I told them "too late ". :)
