Note to AOL 4.0 & 5.0 users
When using the use 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.)
To fix this
Click My AOL.
Click Preferences.
Click the WWW icon.
Click Web Graphics tab.
Uncheck the box next to Use Compressed Graphics.
Click OK
Restart the computer.
There is an older version of AOL that is a 16-bit browser.
Only the 32-bit versions of AOL 4.0 have full Java capabilities.
