are ie6 and aol linked?

[sstovall3]

1. i keep getting an error msg from ie6 saying "internet explorer has
encoutered a problem and needs to close", this usually happens afer i
close the ie6 app. the other malfunction on my computer is that i can
no longer log into aol, i get an error msg saying aol connectivity
service has encountered a problem and needs to close". i spent 3
hours with an aol techie and after several repairs and
uninstalls/reinstalls of the acs and aol software, he decided it was
the signal strength of my connection, i am more than just a little
distrustful of this opinion.

2. anyone having similiar experiences? if i uninstall ie6 (which has
all the patches) where can i download a clean up to date copy of ie6
for installation?

AOL bases its web browser on IE 6 (for now), however, AOL's software is
proprietary to AOL, so any questions about AOL should be directed to AOL.
