Can't access AOL.com....

[Sue Esponte]

I'm running OS X v10.3.9 on my G4 Powerbook.

My browser is Firefox 2.0.0.1 but I've also got an up to date Safari browser on my laptop.

Unfortunately, when I try to log onto AOL.com, the site completely hangs on me regardless of browser. In fact, if I try to access AOL.com on the Safari browser, the computer completely crashes and requires a hard restart.

Anyone else experiencing this problem? Any ideas what could be causing it? Sometimes the problem will go away for a week but then it will resurface for seemingly endless periods of time. If my wife didn't have a POS...I mean PC, I wouldn't be able to get onto my mail account at all!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried deleting AOL and downloading the latest version?

AOL explicitly supports Safari and supports it well. The last standalone AOL client includes a Gecko-based embedded web browser. Firefox 2.0.0.1, the latest release of Gecko-based browsers, accesses AOL like a champ. Perhaps, you need to check your Internet settings on your computer.
