AOL Communicator?

    AOL Communicator?

    When I first installed AOL 9.0 it worked fine. It seems when I restarted my
    computer the program quit and closed it self after starting aol and hearing
    welcome. I heard someone say that AOL communicator is a solution. Before I
    try that, has anyone been able to make AOL work with Vista Beta 2? I even
    tried in compatibility mode and got the same result. If i can get AOL and
    media center to work correctly I would like to continue Beta testing Vista.

    When I turn on my computer it says something like Windows Media Center
    Agressor quit unexpectedly and when I try to start Media Center I just get a
    black screen until I end process ehshell.exe Any ideas for this? I was
    thinking about doing a clean install of Vista but i may wipe out my system
    recovery partition. I am afraid if I do an erase and install some drivers
    may be missing. I think it took some that were already installed from xp.


    Any help is appreciated,

    AOL is NOT coimpatable with Vista at the moment!

    Period!

    No 9.0 Security,no suite,no AIM

    AOL communicator MAY run.

    Anything that may happen will most likely bnot be in Beta until fall. AOL
    Keyword BETA

    it's a shame AOL is compatible with any OS :-)

    I tried some of the AOL chatrooms one night. I agree with you.
