When I log into my computer, it works fine for me. But when I log in as my Wife, AOL eats up the whole CPU (it reads at 100% all of the time) and runs very slowly.

I did the whole "CTRL-ALT-DELETE" thing and saw that some AOL program was using like 97-98% of the power. But only when she's logged in.

How do I stop this so that she can have a decent computer experience?

TIA

That's just it!

We have that Optimum triple play deal with high speed cable access. It works great, but she pays a small fee to have access to her old AOL mail. I can't imagine that is what is slowing her down so much though.

and I have run AdAware, an antivirus program, and even ccleaner. Things run fine when I'm logged in, but slow as anything when she is.
