Firstly, make sure you are trying to use AOL from an Administrator account.
Secondly, upgrade your version of AOL. I'm not sure of version 6.0 is compatible with XP. I believe AOL 8.0 is now available.
Good luck!

I eventually phoned up AOL and found out that it was a cache problem so they told me to delete the folder "cache" in my AOL 6.0 directory, also its my parents pc not mine and they want to keep 6.0, however on mine i have upgraded to 8.0 also on this machine it dials up on the limited account so if its a admin or not it doesn't matter, thanks anyway.
