Hi,
I have 2 idential Alumuminum 15" PowerBooks. My wife uses one and my son uses the other. My son has no trouble running AOL. However, whenever we run AOL on my wife's computer, she gets incenssant spinning beachballs once she is online. These beachballs severely hamper her use of the program.
She is running the latest Tiger and AOL 10.3.7. Whenever she clicks somewhere or moves the mouse to an inactive AOL window, up comes the spinning beachball which lasts of 5 seconds or so.
I have followed your suggestions that I found somewhere else to:
"Open your user/Library/Preferences folder. Open the AOL folder, and trash the AOL Preferences and AOL External prefs files. Close that folder, and trash these files: com.aol.aol.plist
com.apple.internetconfig.plist
com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
Close these folders. Logout and log back in as the same user. Empty the trash. Launch AOL."
In addition, I have reinstalled AOL. During the reinstall, I chose not to import settings from elsewhere in order to create a virgin situation.
She connects via Aiport over our LAN, as does my son.
Thanks,
George
