Re: AOL runs extremely slow but other processes run fine

Same problem here. Vista 32bit, Cable broadband, brand new well equiped Sony all-in-one (decrapified), all updates installed. My customer is not ready to be weaned from AOL so we're running AOL 9.1 as browser and email. There are no obvious background service hogs, but AOL now slows to a crawl or stops altogether. IE works great.

The only clue is it seems to first occur when logged into AOL as User1 then closing the browser and switching to User2 and logging in to AOL. BUT, subsequent reboot, clean temps, restart AOL doesn't improve the slowed down and/or stopped browser.

Has anyone else pinned down a recent update to IE or AOL that might have caused this (Dec 2008)? Any other clues? I'll report back after my next go at this.
