Question posted by Pagedoit on April 10th, 2012

I Have Aol 9.6 And Got A Message Saying The Main.idx Database File Is Damaged.

Where can I get a CD-ROM for aol 9.6?  Will I lose any of my data from the old aol if i use a CD from aol 9.6, or should I get an older version of aol? Computer keeps saying Whoops, something happened and will have to restart my browser.  It is driving me crazy.  Hope you can help.
