Hello!
I'm sorry to hear that Linux isn't working out for you. The vast majority of the opinions about Lite are quite positive. It just happens to be that your computing experience relies heavily on Windows-specific applications.
Sadly, the AOL browser is a Windows-specific product, so with Linux, you're more than likely out of luck. You MIGHT could install and run AOL under WINE, but if you have enough PC to overcome the lag it adds, you could most likely run Windows 7 instead. Pidgin Messenger supports YIM, so for THAT, it IS an alternative.
I don't know WHAT to say about your remaining issues. Perhaps others can shed more insight on those. Since you reinstalled XP, if downloading and installing the appropriate driver from your wireless adapter's manufacturer doesn't get it done, I don't know WHAT to tell you at this point.
We just had someone else on here who is contemplating reinstalling Lite to fix his wireless issue. Hopefully, we will be able to help him to solve his problem short of that extreme. As for myself, I just boo-booed moving some partitions around to remove an old Windows install, and now find myself reinstalling Windows 7. Oh, well... At LEAST I was able to copy the files off...

A gun in your hand is worth more than a whole police force on the phone.
