AOL crashes out shortly after successfully logging in for me... is anyone
able to get it to work ??
 
lol I cant even get AOL to load from cd as it doesnt recognise Visa the AOL
help desk were their usual out of depth help and were unable to help at all
 
and there is not much more help in the beta area (Aol Keyword BETA)
They are working on it,but something may not even be ready for testing
before RC1 comes out.
 
Does anyone else find it amusing that an AOL user is taking part in a
complex OS beta?
 
What a short sighted and rude comment, I have had an AOL account since 1992
and don't intend to close it. I don't use AOL as my ISP however. There are
NUMEROUS reasons to have an AOL account...
 
The reason AOL/Users get those short/acerbic statements is because
of the issues/grief that Technicians and consultants have to endure trying
to work/fix/resolve AOL issues. AOL's biggest problem is the proprietary
nature of their software. It's not a layer/application - it functions like
it's
own little operating system. Try to migrate your AOL data stores to a
"Industry Standard" client - not easy at all. If it (AOL) used existing XP
or Vista features/code to run it wouldn't be a such a problem to work on.

AOL, Symantec & to some degree McAfee are all technician's enemies.
Unfortunately, most times these aspects of those products aren't explained.
 
My friend, not everyone who is an aol user is a automaton. Some are forced
to use aol by necessity and less knowledgeable users in the household. Save
your condescension .
 
There were numerous reason I had an AOL account since 94, but I have run out
of them. It just isn't my style.

People have been asking that question for over a decade.

AOL WAN MINIPORT DRIVER Program which is the first program to add your infor
mation tot he stsrt up splash screen, stalls out as soon as you bring up
connect to AOL. They have to write a new mini port driver so the program can
totally function. CD=S DO NOT WORK neother does reverting the AOL with
previous windows. GUESS EVERYONE HAS TO WAIT NOTHING ON THE HORIZON yet also
sent in a total ERROR REPORT TO AOL and also Microsoft on this issue. If I
herar back from either will let everyone know on the board here.

Dump AOL! I started with AOL in the mid-1990's. After a couple of years I realized that most everything I was doing was on the Internet and not with AOL stuff. So why have their junk on my hard drive? I dumped AOL in 1998 and went with Southwestern Bell. Since then I have switched to Charter Communication for Internet service. You do not need AOL, it is JUNK.
