Jib 0 #1 December 13, 2004 Everytime my roommate is on AOL through the wireless router/cable modem, my bandwidth goes to crap. At the office, it crawls during the day. Does anyone know if AOL has something going on? If so, how to I kill it? -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v.

When you open up AOL it is like a vampire it sucks the shit out of your resources. Like adobe even once you close a pdf file adobe keeps something running in the back ground. I usually find that it uses 25-29 mb of your ram when completely closed Of course that is all IMO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
