AOL -- Love 'em, Hate 'em

I resisted upgrading my AOL for awhile now.   Then I got the AOL 9.0 Optimized thing in the mail.   I figure what the hey, and I loaded it.   Well, maybe it was going to happen.   Maybe something defective about the CD they sent.   Whatever, I am really frustrated.   First I can't get logged in under the 9.0 login screen.   Go back to the 8.0, no problem.   Oh, yea....my desktop picture went somewhere, I have a totally black screen where a picture should be.   No, problem....I go to the screen to change it.   The tool bar colors change, the screen doesn't.   I can default to a blue screen.   I really don't want the blue screen. 

And as long as I am complaining.......

I set up the Yahoo messenger thingy so I could chat with my brother.   Everything was fine until a couple days ago.   The Yahoo logs you in when you start up.   But now I can't get into AOL until I exit all the Yahoo stuff.   What the heck happened?   Please if you know tell me.

I got so frustrated this morning that I uninstalled the AOL 9.0.   I think I want the upgrade but right now I could start cussing.   Has anyone else had problems?   Maybe I am doing something wrong, after all I have only been on-line since August.

Oh....poor pitifull me.

I am very sorry that you had so much problem with the new aol 9.0.
Here is some thing a friend said to me one day.
Dont be the first one to try something new and ask someone that have it first to see what will happen to you if you try. Stay strong as you are and I will be here to read what you have to say next.

I'm glad I stuck to my guns and didn't upgrade to 9.0....I'm sorry you had problems, hope all is better now.

did you try upgrading rather than loading the cd to install from scratch? go to keyword: upgrade. it will walk you through. 9.0 is great - but i have run into some glitches that have since been worked out. good luck with everything. ~peace~
