Note
to AOL 4.0 & 5.0 users
When using the use AOL browser, you may get a Javascript error
but, when using an external browser (i.e., Netscape or Internet
Explorer) this does not occur. AOL uses compressed graphics by
Default. This doesn't allow Java to work while browsing inside
AOL. (Additionally, this makes photos you view on web pages look
less than optimal.)
Do the following:
- Click
My AOL.
- Click
Preferences.
- Click
the WWW icon.
- Click
Web Graphics tab.
- Uncheck
the box next to Use Compressed Graphics.
- Click
OK Restart the computer.
Note
that there are both 16-bit and 32-bit versions of AOL 4.0. Only
the 32-bit version has full Java capabilities.
VISTA
USERS:
- Click
Control Panel.
- Click

- Click
