Hello All!
I am using an AOL dialup connection and browser [9.0 Optimized]. When the browser software runs and you finaly get a connection established, a Welcome screen opens with all the advertising and BS. I always close it asap and as soon as it minimizes another Window pops up, AOL Channels [AOL C...] and once agian it holds nothing of intrest so I close it too. No big deal. Only thing is when I close the Welcome screen, it will usually pop back up at least four or five times. After it finally gives up an stays down, another useless window pops up in the upper left corrner of the broswer window and all it displays on top is [AOL C...] After searching everywhere but AOL for info. I found out it can be called various things [AOL Channels, AOL Channel Window, ect.] to escape popup blocking software they change the name from time to time and you cannot see what it is because the window is so narrow that it does not have enough room to show, it only shows [AOL C...]. It also takes four or five attempts to get it to stay down. You can click on the X and in a few seconds it will pop back up.
Is there a way to disable it? AOL customer support does not even know what the Channel Window is. It shows up very rarely in any help pages.
Thanks Alot for any help;
Mikey
