Aol and XP pro problem

[marvyone]

We have a dell p3 with 256 meg ddr memory. I put in a new
drive and loaded XP pro and AOL 9.0. We are on a cable
connection. AOL keeps cutting out and reconnecting. The
AOL tech says that AOL 9.0 needs 128 megs of memory to run
and we need more memory to let it run with out cutting
out. The cable connection is good, no signal problems.
When I go to the AOL system info it shows an 82% memory
load with 9.0 running. Has anyone had this problem, does
it sound correct as far as not enough memory. As always
thank, Marvyone

that I had forgotten something simple that would let 9.0
work. Tanks for the input I may go that route. Marvyone

Once again another nonconstructive and irrelevant(this isn't Microsoft, it's
peer support and the OP has every right to request assistance from the group)
response to an AOLers question from the arrogant Reverend Chambers. We already
know that we can contact AOL Support, Bruce. We can contact MS support instead
of asking the group for help with an XP problem, too. Once more with
feeling...if you're not going to offer help STFU!

John

Again thanks to all who have answered. I am working on

this problem and have had some success. I have worked on
reducing the number of apps that run on startup, ie taking
out tray icons etc using msconfig on selective startup.
Also I have stopped some windows services from auto start
and made them manual start up. This may have helped as the
memory load seems to have dropped from 82% to 75% with AOL
9.0 running. Marvyone
