I get this message

We are unable to determine the cause of your shutdown. We're sorry, no additional details are available.

And I have to reinstall it to get it work. and then shuts down 10mins later

get broadband from someone else instead is my answer
"but what about my emails?!" just bite the bullet, get a gmail account instead far better than anything else

Unless you're on dialup (AFAIK), there's no requirement to use the AOL software.

Only if you don't want it to connect - it's 0/38 you'd be looking for.

Eh no you don't, AOL here and i never used the software (when i was using the voyager 105 modem, im on a router now as i went to 2mb Gold), i use IE, and i use Outlook for my e-mails, just follow the guide in here to make your own connection.
