Re: AOL Desktop browser?
I just installed this approx. a month ago. Yes it has
a browser, their regular browser I believe which is IE, again I believe. I installed it because I could get no other AOL program, except AIM, to install on a 1 year old computer. It takes a little getting used to (different look) but so far I like it. Email is different from regular AOL as it is web based. Check it out but be sure and set a "Restore Point" before install. I do with almost all installs. HTH....

AOL 9.1 is much closer in layout/functionality to the older 9.0 programs. I have it running fine on my Vista machine.

At the end of the install error msg's I always get tell me basically I need more HD space and/or more memory which is a farce. DeskTop was finally only thing other then AIM that would install. I have spent much time on the TX and email with AOL & their final solutions were always install an older version which did not work either. Frustrating but...there obviously has to be a solution but neither I nor AOL Techs know what it is. Thanx again as I appreciate your reply.
