"MT Pavilion523",
I am sorry that you are running into this problem. Here at Microsoft, we do
test a great deal of variations on our installations, but occasionally
things like this happen. I hesitate to ask this, as I'm sure the Earthlink
technicians already tried this, but:
Have you tried uninstalling the Earthlink Desktop Tool/task bar and
reinstalled it on your Service Pack 2 updated Windows operating system?
The best bet is to contact Earthlink in this case, as they understand their
proprietary software best and can better define what problem you may be
encountering.
Sincerely,
Pat Walters [MSFT]
