Topic: Why does my computer take longer to start up after installing America
Online® (AOL) software?
Installing AOL on some computers may increase the time required to start up by
as much as 60 seconds. You can decrease your computer’s start up time by
disabling the AOL wide area network (WAN) driver. Follow these steps:
1 Click Start in the Windows taskbar, and select Control Panel.
2 Click Network and Internet Connections, and select Network Connections.
Pressing and holding the power button for more than six seconds, may result
in the loss of data from files that are currently open.
