Many thanks I will have a look. I did see a similar problem on their forums and have asked a question there as it does not seem to be my DVD drive.

bit off topic but related to task manager . my red x box in the top corner is no longer there how can i get it back thanks

Is it just the red X box or are all the icons and menus missing? Try double-clicking the border to make them reappear/disappear.

Hi

Ive got a Packard Bell PC that i've had for over a year, it came with loads of AOL software pre-installed, which i uninstalled but i've just discovered there's still loads of folders of its stuff when i go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\AOL
Heres's a pic
The date of the files go back to 2003-2005..hmm


Also in Task Manager there's a thing called AOLacsd.exe running.
I'm on broadband and dont ever think i'll be going with AOL, is it safe to get rid of all the AOL files ?

The One, Google Web or Groups for 'completely uninstall aol', or 'completely remove aol'.

There's nothing of AOL software in the Add/Remove programs window

You've done that bit. Read the whole article - including removing the AOL adapter.
