AOL 4.0 doesn't support javascript. You'll need a later version of IE or another browser to use with 4.0. I would suggest installing version 9.0. It has IE6.0 with it and it allows you to retrieve email that may have been mistakenly filtered as spam.

NOT sure if window 95 can handle verion 9.
i was on version 8 and i have to downgrade to version 7.
these later versions of aol just eat up too much core.
i am on window 98

The problem is your are using AOL period. Dump AOL and you will find navigating the net much easier and you will not be getting booted offline time and time again.

Stone - I'm curious about two things
1) What does AOl have to do with ease of browsing? Once you are connected you can use whatever browser you need, you are not limited to theirs.
2) Why do you always assume that AOL users are on dial-up? Even when I am stuck using their dial up, I had m system on for three straight days while I was waiting from my cable to get hooked up and never got knocked off.

Once you log onto AOL, you can dump them and use their gateway to the internet. They are out of the picture altogether except for the connection. You can choose to use Internet Explorer which comes with their software and is installed in a seperate directory. You can choose Netscape or Opera or Mozilla which you have to download seperately. Contrary to popular belief, there is no such thing as an " AOL browser". It is Microsoft Internet Explorer, which is accessed from the AOL home page by a simplified "newbie friendly" panel, or can be accessed directly for more experienced users. There are many occasions I log on, minimize AOL and use Opera all day. You don't even need to use their Email system. You can set up a different scheme if desired. And Fenix, you are correct. There are many AOL users who don't even own a conventional dial up modem.
