How to clear the AOL Artwork Database on your computer using AOL ISP connection?
The AOL software stores online graphics on your computer to speed the loading of AOL® images. Over time, unneeded graphics from pages you no longer visit or pages that have changed can fill up your artwork database, reducing efficiency. The files can even become damaged and cause more serious errors. By reducing and then resetting the size of the artwork database, new graphics can be stored to speed load again.
