1.The Main.idx file is the most important file in AOL.

2.Purging (cleaning) that file makes AOL run a bit faster (except for the first time you sign on to AOL).

3.The Main.idx is responsible for graphics on AOL.

4.Open AOL ;but don't signon; On the AOL 6.0,7.0,8.0 toolbar click on Settings->Preferences->Font and graphics.Reduce the "Maximum disk space for online art" to 1 MB->click on save->close Preferences->and exit AOL.When you close AOL it will give a dialogue box "Please wait while we remove art.....".You may not see the dialogue box if your computer is very fast.Now open AOL again.Go again to Settings->Preferences->Font and graphics.Reduce the "Maximum disk space for online art" to 20 MB(for AOL 6.0) and 40MB (for AOL7.0 and 8.0)->click on save->close Preferences->and signon to AOL.The graphics will load a bit slowly the first time.But the next time you signon it will be much faster.
