Hey guys what's up?
I just installed my trial edition of x64 but unfortunately I cannot get AOL
to work!
I have Time Warner as a cable provider for broadband, but in order for me to
be online I must sing on through AOL first. Grrrrrrr!!!

Can anyone help?
Thnx

AOL need to produce a Windows x64 64-bit compatible version of their
software.

Please read the other posts in this group about AOL and x64 Windows
compatibility.

That's a suprise. My roomate uses AOL and she can connect to the internet
using Firefox, as soon as she boots her computer. She doesn't have to do
anything with AOL to get online. We have DSL through Qwest and the
broadband account is with MSN.

That said, she uses XP Home, but I can't see how this would matter.

Also from Mike:
If AOL require a patch for their product to work on x64 Edition then they
should be able to provide THEIR patch.
Contact them again for more information on the support for their products on
the x64 versions of Windows.

Sorry, AOL is for newbies, XP64 is for professionals. They are not
compatible.

Get a proper ISP...

Bit worrying that something as simply as AOL, embeds itself that deeply
into the OS, that it will not run on the 32bit compatibility layer.
That alone is reason enough to avoid AOL. (A.K.A AOHELL)

Just dump AOL and use MSIE and Outlook Express direct on your cable
provider. You're paying extra just to get the AOL interface. I for one,
get tired of having AOL thrown in my face every time I install a different
game or other program. You have to be watching and check the "don't
install" box or it will install. AOL is for beginners.
It's bloatware.

Let the flames begin

Tocapet

Your name says it all!

People that don't need someone to hold their hand while they surf the
internet avoid AOL like a case of the clap, or the plague!!

Tocapet, well said. Internet Explorer and Outlook should be enough for
anyone and nice one (which some people hate already comes with Windows), MSN
Explorer.
