Aol will not install

[nichos]

Funny thing huppens,

My aol program stoped working, unistalled it, downloaded again 9.0, tried to Install it but I get a full screen of foto below, & canot close it unless I use CTL ALT DEL, & the "restart" small window comes up to repeat all over again.

AOL say it is a PC problem & cannot help.

PC has 2 Mem sticks 2GB each (shee second foro), & my HD has:-
C:/ 13GB free space

and the other 4 partitions have from 1.3GB to 23GB.

Anybody had same problem?

[nichos]

as said above:- "....C:/ 13GB free space and the other 4 partitions have from 1.3GB to 23GB......".

And AOL was always running OK with that amount of free space.

I'm happy for you. Really. I am.

Why on earth do you really want AOHell?

The ONLY reason for it I could see is if someone had some email still on their servers that needs retrieving then uninstalling. JMHO

Sorry about that,

I had the best deal available in their "AOL TALK" for Unlimited Fone calls, fone Line & fast B.Band at £21.49 a month for many years now, & found the free 24hr help tel calls quite helpful.

I use IE, & only use the AOL program to check various things with in it, ie my account& billing.

Can anybody give technical advise on what is the problem.

PS: can not understand this, why do I do it? :-"....what about page file have you tried manually setting your page file rather than system managed ? ....."

nichos,

I'm not 100% sure if this fix will work in your instance, but you could try downloading and running a low memory fix provided by AOL. You can find details of it here.

[nichos]

thanx,

it says I have no low mem problems.

[LochLomonder]

Okay, so did you try running the installation process again to see if the same error occurs?

As long as you are getting on line OK I would dump the AOL browser and just log-on to your AOL account with any browser, including Internet Explorer, at http://www.aol.com

I had an uncle who persisted with using the AOL software long after its best-by-date and there were unending problems till I got him converted to access in the above manner. Either uninstall it if it is causing problems or minimize it and use an alternative browser for access to your account.

[nichos]

I always do that, but the vidal "itemised calls" I am charged for can only be checked through the full program.

I have done all the suscribers here sugested, 4-5 times with no success.

PS. even removed, cleaned & replace the Mem sticks.

Paul,

I feel the same way, since my wife insists upon keeping her AOL account, despite me offering to move everything to Outlook and use her ISP account. The AOL software is a piece of crap as far as I'm concerned, so she goes through IE to access her information.

[LochLomonder]

nichos,

Since my previous suggestion didn't work, I'll have another look at this to see if there's any other suggestions I can make for you.

[LochLomonder]

nichos,

I noticed you mentioned AOL 9.0 in your initial message. Have you tried downloading and installing V9.6?

[nichos]

Thanx all,

in desperation after trying all everybody said 4-5 I found my old AOL 9 cd & it installed OK.

So Ill see if I can get the itemised calles in this one.

BTW v(.6 says "desktop" & did not work any way.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, nichos. In previous times when I was attempting to install different iterations of the AOL software on my PC for my wife (Vista 64-bit at the time), I had nothing but headaches with it. I haven't tried it on Win 7, nor will I even attempt to do so. It's just crap as far as I'm concerned.

I managed to install normally AOL 9.5.

This link made me try & delete the "Data Execution Prevention" & the latest AOL 9.5 prog installed from the net & working OK.

I went back though & Turned on thid DEP thing.
