hmm looks like it may be resource problems here. I just checked the microsoft website. It said 64 Mb ram min. sys requirement 128 Mb ram recomended. It also recomended a modem driver update for aol users who were experincing disconnect problems. Not sure but the way the article read I don't think that is an issue for you, but the ram certaintly does. You can do a search for windows me and it should return a link to the right ms site if you want to read it.

I think when you are trying to start LW with a d/l there are 3 programs trying to use your ram at the same time. ME, AOL, & LW.
LW being on the bottom of the priority list. Kinda Like being in a traffic jam.

If you try the suggestion I made in the previous post this may eliminate some of the burden on your ram.

Also check to make sure your modem driver is up to date.

Let us know if this helped.
