It\'s obvious that MSNM 4.5 was not the cause of your problem because even after you\'ve uninstalled it the problem still persists.  Are you on dial-up, broadband?  Are you using AOL 7.0? More information on your setup would be nice!!!!

Well this has never ever ever happened to me before
...and when I installed 4.5 it started.  The moment I went to surf it happened.

have not installed or uninstalled anything else for weeks.

win 98
320 ram
DSL connection

I have DSL and whenever I\'m logged on to AOL and I try to use Internet Explorer it tells me that I\'m offline.  I have to click \"Try Again\" for Internet Explorer to work.

Do  you have AOL 7.0?

I am connected to the internet when I start my computer  .
My windows messenger is never started when windows starts (options windows mess.4.5 0127 )It starts with outlook express . If you have to connect to the internet (if you are not connected automatically on starting up) you have to set the proxy settings of winmsg right . proxy...... :socks 1080 . If this doesn\' help ,check if nothing is changed with your IE6.0 connection settings .Try eventually repair browser in the controll panel  \"add remove programs\".
Good luck

The only thing I learned (after years)from installing programs , getting incomprehensible errors , being unable to uninstall the program , blue screens is to make a back up image of my drive , or partition on a second drive or partition weekly , and simply put it back the image when I get those annoying problems , and everything is back to normal .
