broadband freezing

[tim]

Hi,

When leaving broadband on for a long time, this is
AOl8.0, I often find that my computer has frozen. Aol is
not responding and cannot be shutdown. The computer than
often failsto restart,or I receive an error message along
the lines of : c:\docume~1\tim~1.hom\locals~1
\temp\wer1.tmp.dir00\sysdata.xml, which differs depending
on which application freezes, earlier for instance it was
windows media player.

Any ideas
Thanks

Yep. Follow the steps below TO THE LETTER and you'll be rid of the problem
forever!


1) Take the AOHELL CD

2) If you are old enough to drive, and have a licence, place it in the
middle of the drive and back over it several times.

3) If you are not old enough to drive - or don't have a licence - place
said CD in the microwave and cook on full power for a couple of minutes - it
really is fascinating, and most satisfying, to watch.

4) Place resulting mess in the rubbish

5) Pick up the phone, call AOHELL 'Customer Service' and tell them you
wish to cancel your account.

6) Ask people for recommendations for a proper ISP.

7) Call new ISP of choice and sign up.

There! Problem solved.

Unfortunately, removing AOHELL's trojanic software will, most likely,
require a complete format and reinstall.
