I told myself that I wouldn't download AOL 8.0 after all the problems with 7.0 but so far no problems. I just grew tired of using 4.0. I cannot imagine what the problem would be. My best advice would be to either call AOL tech support (haha we all know how helpful they are) or maybe try re-installing. I would think it would be best to uninstall the 8.0 currently on your system first before you re-install it.

I have 8.0 and like it actually!
i did have some problems after first installing it, like getting booted, but come to realize the number on the dial up was so packed that i just switched to the other one, ( thats usually what causes the booting off according to the aol reps ) and ive been fine so far. the little blue box your seeing is probably the "auto reconnect". if its checked it will try to reconnect you after loosing connection automatically although im not sure why it would reboot your computer. did you defrag after installing it? i know a lot of people have to do that, as aol does throw files arround. may give it a try if not.

Works great for me! I love all the new instant messaging features (The better icons, skins, smileys, and IM sounds)!
