UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE ****************

The fix i posted here for AOL users is no longer required .... Why u ask?

Aol seem to have come up with a fix of their own LOL ( about time too )
Here is the process needed.
1 allow the update
2 start and close your aol software a couple of times and a new update will appear
3 set up your dialler as normal ( login and password and set to auto sign in option )

I have used AOL for years and this is a fine example of ........ getting there in the end.
Good luck to all
