AOL & IE8

Using Vista Home premium and IE8, using IE8 to access AOL webmail at
www.aol.co.uk.
Am able to sign in once. When I sign out, and then sign in again, I get the
service is unavailable. Exit IE8, go back into IE8 and am able to sign in
again.
Any ideas. (Please, no advice about loading a new browser, I actuall like IE).

Always state your full Windows version (e.g., Vista SP1; Vista 64-bit SP2)
as well as your IE version when posting in an IE-specific forum or
newsgroup. Please do so in your next reply.

1. Does the behavior persist if you start IE in No Add-ons mode?

=> Start | (All) Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Internet
Explorer (No add-ons).

2. Does the behavior persist if you Reset IE Advanced settings (RIES)?

3. What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)? Were any of these applications running
in the background when you installed IE8?

4. Has a(nother) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this
machine (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought
it)?
