I had the same thing. Thanks for figuring it out.
You aren't the only one (or two) that's had/having this issue! I reported it to AOL just now. I'm glad I found your post.
Pixel Issue with Windows 7 and AOL 9.5 and 9.6! - Technical Issues & Problems - AOL Message Boards
Just another reason I Hate, Hate Hate AOL.
I am so glad they have finally died to just a miserable obscure website.
My Mom still uses it. I've been trying seriously trying to get her off it with no luck so far. It uses a lot of resources, but you know how people can get set in their ways. Glad to here it is resolved. Fabe
Some still use AOL for the privacy it gives them in regards to their IP, as well as the limitless usernames/emails they can create, all for their "dirty" work, especially in regards to message boards & eBay'ing. Trying to get such info from the AOL TOS requires law enforcement to be involved, generally.
Just sayin'...
Oh the good ole days of AOL 3.x & 4.x, & the punter & TOS'er proggies.
Hi guys. Don't know if this subject is dead or not, but I may have an update about the issue that I don't believe anyone else has mentioned.
I too have the same problem with the discolored pixel being caused by a running program. In my case, running TinyGrab.exe (A screenshot program I recommend to everyone) causes the pixel to show up.
Quitting the program solves the issue; the pixel goes away. Restarting it brings it back. Since I absolutely love the program, I can sacrifice the pixel being there. I hardly notice it anyway.
Screenshot (taken by TinyGrab, lol) of pixel:
