Please post some more system specs so we can come up with possible reasons. Some helpful info would be:

Motherboard
Video Card
Ram
Routers(if any)

Example:
AMD Athlon 2000 1.7ghz
GeForce 2 64mb SDR
256mb DDR
Linksys Router

You can get most of these from: Start--->>>Run--->>> dxdiag

dont run the aol program, it can be too demanding to run along side planeshift and not only that likes to hassle any online game players. You can find an alternate dialup program to connect to aol somewhere on the net, have a look.

Is this from creating a new character? If so you only get one attempt from the moment you start the client. If something goes wrong, or the names already taken, you somtimes have to start the client again from scratch.
Using \'quick create\' minimizes the chances of this.

The same goes if you are using an old character youve created, you have to get the pass right first time or restart the client.
