Note to AOL 4.0 & 5.0 users
When using the 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:

1. Click My AOL.
2. Click Preferences.
3. Click the WWW icon.
4. Click Web Graphics tab.
5. Uncheck the box next to Use Compressed Graphics.
6. Click OK
7. 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 capabilities.
