AOL 9.0 and Windows Vista Beta 2

[Guest]

I installed Vista last night, but now I can't use AOL (I know... I still use
AOL with my broadband because I have the email address). For some reason,
even after reinstalling, the AOL program brings me to the welcome screen and
then disconnects and tries to start up again, getting caught in a loop. Any
suggestions?

Have you tried running it in Compatibility mode? Right click the executable,
click Properties > Compatibility and choose an appropriate version of
Windows, XP SP2 or 2000.

just cus you have an aol address you use aol is so freaking stupid as heck.
you must like to waste money. get rid of them bozos.

I really do enjoy wasting money... very observant. Anything better to do with
your life than criticize others? You're really a winner!

Did you do a dual boot or put it on a second computer? It may not be
compatible with Vista, atm. Although, you'd think AOL would be one of the
first to jump on it to hit the most customers!

AOL does install it's own network drivers as part of the install. Perhaps
those are not fully Vista compatible yet.

I can recommend keyword Beta. Maybe they have beta software in the works to
work with Vista.

I take that back...when i first install aol it worked perfectly...Until next
time i used my computer aol wouldn't word correctly. My problem is when the
program lauch and i enter my un and ps it sign on into aol but then it just
shut downs.

Same me and I wrote them and they said they don't have a build of AOL for
Vista. They said they aren't planning on doing one till Vista gets further
down the road. They claim the code may change at this point and then they
will have to rework AOL.

AOL WAN MINIPORT driver program is what is not working with AOL. NO UPDATES
AT ALL. This is the part of the program that makes AOL call up to the
program and run. I have sent them a letter but nothing back yet.
Compatibility mode DOES NOT WORK EITHER. So the best thing is to wait. AOL
can be done using the web browesrs by going to www.aol.com and using some of
it through the web till They do a update
