If I were you I'd uninstall all Earthlink software, making note of all TCP/IP information (login) first for your dial-up connection. After the Earthlink software is gone, create a new DUN with the login information and use a stock browser. IE, Netscape, Mozilla, whatever.
Most people do not need to use the ISP's browser/software. Just use the TCP/IP information and your username and password.
