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:
1Click Start in the Windows taskbar, and select Control Panel.
2Click Network and Internet Connections, and select Network Connections.
3Right-click on the Local Area Connection with the device name, “WAN
Network Driver,” select Disable.
Open your AOL connection and verify that the application functions properly
with the WAN Network Driver disabled. If you need to restore this Network
setting, repeat these steps (1 - 3) and select Enable.
