Have you checked the Internet Options?[ Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#3)

The Internet Options control panel has a tab labeled "Connections". If you haven't already set this to "never dial a connection", you may want to try this. It is possible that this will solve your problem.

1) Backup your registry and important data _before_ doing this, since a mistake in editing the registry can seriously trash your computer.

2) Don't do this if AOL is used for legitimate internet access and/or email, since AOL probably won't work correctly after this is done.
