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
capabilites.
