Vista - AOL 9.0 does not work well with Vista

AOL software keeps asking for an internet explorer add on every time you run
it. Sometimes it works OK but more often than not it locks up the PC.
Anybody run into this?

AO-HELL doesn't work well with any operating system. Why do you need to run
AO-HELL? Everything you need to do, you can access through your OS, E-Mail
you can use Outlook Express or Windows Mail that comes with Vista. AO-HELL
is just a layer on top of the Operating system.

Get rid of it if you can. IT causes nothing but trouble.

I didn't know people still use AOL. Unfortunately, the solution to your
problem is to remove AOL and that can only truly be done by reformatting
your hard disk and reinstalling Vista or, better yet, XP or Linux.

Bob:

Don't worry about all the "experts" opinions here. Are you using version
9.0VR (which is Vista compatible)? My mom and father-in-law use 9.0 Security
Edition with no issues (unless they were automatically upgraded to 9.0VR and
don't know it). To be honest, I doubt if it is the version of AOL. Can you be
more descriptive in the error? It sounds like IE is asking for permission to
run an add-on, but I could be wrong...

When will people learn......AOL is a ICP(internet content provider) as in
you see what they want you to see...GET RID OF IT!! use an ISP (internet
service provider) and see what the world see's..AOL is CRAP always has been

AOL is proprietary and does not run well on any Operating System. Better to find another ISP for peace of mind.

So runnint AO-HELL is like driving a Corvette with a top speed of 45.
Useless. Wake up, smell the roses, dump AO-HELL, like a cheap whore and be
happy with normal computing.

Anybody who uses AO-HELL is running crippled, like a shell to protect you
from the benefits of the Operating System and ramming ad's down your throat.

I have helped so many people who had problems with AO-HELL and once they got
rid of it, they were very happy.

Don't listen to PNutts, I think he is NUTTS.

Make Sure That You Are Using The VR Edition Of AOL 9.0, Just FYI.

P.S. I'm Using it on Windows Server 2008 Beta 3 (with a Broad Band
Connection), Just FYI.

Why would you something like AO-HELL? It is just a wrapper over the
operating system to hinder the user from actually working. AO-HELL
constantly bombards you with unnecessary ad's, causes major problems with
almost everything that you do and is almost impossible to remove once you
figure out it is a pile of crap.

Actually the AO-HELL interface reminds me a LOT of the way Vista is
designed.
Lots of eye candy, limited ability to customize and always asking 'are you
sure' to protect you from yourself.
