Under Projects>Web Sites>Your Account for example, when I click on any of these, I get a message from AOL that it will try to open this file as a text file. Clicking "Yes" you immediately get the message that the file is too large for AOL and should be opened with another application. Of course, I don't HAVE another application. Running Internet Explorer over AOL doesn't cut it. Any ideas about this?? Thanks. |

The extension (.php) is not registered on your version of Windows. Depending on the version of Windows you are using, you will need to get it to recognize .php as a valid file extension and open it with Internet Explorer, Netscape or some other browser (not AOL's browser)!

I run AOL from home also, dialup, slower than hot snot. But I have not seen this issue. Just giving input, don't know what the problem here is, but I can browse these pages fine. Running Win XP service pack 2, all the latest updates, same for AOL. I do know I had problems similar to this running a OEM version of AOL for the HW I was on, DELL, but then when I uninstalled it (AOLDell), and installed AOL from an AOL CD, those problems went away. Thanks, and Keep on crunchin' John Henry KI4JPL Sevierville TN I started with nothing, and I still have some of it left. <img src="http://www.boincstats.com/stats/banner.php?cpid=989478996ebd8eadba8f0809051cdde2"> |

you should try firefox. great browser - aol's browser is based off of IE, and IE is useless. Try Firefox or Netscape, etc too bad you are running windows.. |

Netscape is owned by AOL. I am afraid to even see what the new version has done, so I stay away, far away. Firefox and Opera are the two that seem the best. Firefox is a little more supported, IMHO. Awesome browser, and Thunderbird makes a wonderful mail client (built by the same people who does Firefox). Good luck on your issue. My movie https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/502242 |
