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)!

Is AOL your only connection method to the internet?

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'

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.
