Laptop "Freezing" Question

["Sweet & Sour" ImSoFudginGreat]

I put "freezing" because I didn't know how else to phrase it.

Yesterday my laptop started to play up. Every so often my browser (I use AOL) says Not Responding and that circle thing comes on. Once AOL isn't responding I can't do anything, I can't open the start menu to shut it down and I can't open any other programmes.

I have done a virus scan in safe mode and it says it can't find anything wrong.

Anyone got any advice??

I've been attempting to figure this out and I think its AOL that is causing the problem only I don't seem to be able to uninstall it.

Does anyone have any help on that one??

Have you tried uninstalling through the Add/Remove Icon in your control panel?

If I were you I would switch to firefox.

Yes but there is only the option to remove the connectivity something something.

I'm considering it, AOL just seemed so much more convenient.

I have firefox and that happens to me quite a lot. I think its something to do with the internet connection/time of day.
