   Review - AOL Explorer

   1.5 Build 1.5001.7.1 (May 20, 2006)

   when i first downloaded AOL explorer i really liked it, the themes are cool, the favorites bar, and i like the thumbnail previews pretty well. But next thing I know my computer was freezing up and doing weird stuff. I don't know the lingo that well, but it was starting to leave little bits and pieces of other windows stuck on my screen after closing out a window (or program). It started going real, real slow and my applications were "not responding" and I couldn't even fix it with alt/control/delete. I cleaned my cache, did the defrag, and deleted temp files; everything I could think of to speed up my computer (which is generally pretty fast); i've got 714mb ram and 1.86 gb processor (i know, it could be faster, but it's not too bad) and I have some good anti-spyware and anti-virus programs keeping my 'puter clean of bugs (hopefully). But nevertheless, I HAD to do a SYSTEM RESTORE finally to make my computer act good again. In the future, I'll know to do a sys restore "before" downloading something like this again. But who'd a thought a browser could cause these kind of problems? I downloaded the AOL explore once again, brave huh, and now it won't let me sign in, or use my themes, tools, faves, etc. I'm lost as what to do. I guess I'll stick with my regular AOL Security 9.0 that i was very happy with anyway. I do believe AOL has changed for the better, so I'm giving them another try; I just can't figure out the A-explorer???
