Stop using AOL. Get a real ISP. Last but not least use a real web
browser like IE or Netscape.

IE isn't a real browser. It's operating system component that displays
browser-like qualities.
If you want to recommend something, propose a browser that is regularly
updated, that supports recent Web technologies, and isn't ridden with
security holes.

IE is a real browser. Parts of it is also available for other uses
as a web-browser component, but that doesn't make it any less a
browser.
Now, it's not a very *good* browser (neither is Netscape 4, which also
had its day once). I would recommend getting not just a real browser,
but a good browser.

Personally I prefer Opera, with Mozilla FireFox as the second choice.

I know. I should have marked that as flagrant Microsoft-bashing, but I
didn't think IE deserved that much effort.[1]

I only wish Opera made some improvements to M2. Hopefully with 7.60...

[1] In all seriousness, I should have. It reduces one's credibility to

Strike 2. You imply that IE is a "real" web browser? I mean "real" as in
a decent one. Not something with more security holes than a sieve in a sink.
Strike 3. You mention Netscape, yet its a dead browser now. Its not
being developed any longer. But since you claim Netscape as your
defense, I assume you are not aware of who owns Netscape Corporation
now, no?
Please do not top-post, read the group FAQ with regards to that.

Which version of AOL is it though? 9 or 9 Optimized? Also, what OS and
IE version are you using? AOL doesn't have its "own" browser, it uses a
shell of IE as its internal browser. So, the underlying IE version will
have an impact on AOL.
If you are using AOL9 on Win98 with IE5, then AOL will use IE5 as a
shell, yet if you install that same AOL on WinXP with IE6 SP2, then it
will use the IE6 SP2 for its shell.
Also, what website is it that you can't get into?
Thanks!

I'm not arguing that point I just despise the half baked way they partly
use IE & partly their own code for the AOL browser, was my point. I
also believe that the other ISP's provide a better service for what they
charge.

IE is based off of Mosaic which several other browsers are based off of
as I recall. Also Microsoft fixes the holes with patches just as other
browsers have security holes. Also Microsoft gets targeted because it
has both the most users & is the most known. So if Linux & FireFox
where the main OS & web browser they would be the target of every hacker
as well as many complaints that shouldn't even be made.
Strike 3. You mention Netscape, yet its a dead browser now. Its not
being developed any longer. But since you claim Netscape as your

How is it a dead browser? They released 7.2 recently (I do know that
AOL owns netscape, but the browser is much better then the half baked
version that the AOL service pushes).
Please do not top-post, read the group FAQ with regards to that.

From my experience doing technical support AOL only partly uses the IE
dll files & partly skips on others. This is because they refuse to use
the standard 32-bit TCP/IP protocol that Windows comes with & insist on
using a 16-bit TCP/IP stack. If you want proof of this try publishing a
FrontPage 2002 web while connected to AOL. It will never work, but if
you have a regular Internet connection you will be able to because you
are no longer using the 16-bit TCP/IP stack that they insist on using.
You are correct in saying they don't have there own true browser but it
still isn't 100% IE because of several scripting limitations built into
the AOL browser.
One last thing some of the later versions of AOL (I think starting at
about 6.0 install new.net which is known to cause all sorts of TCP/IP
related issues as well as the WAOL caused an IPF in module kernel32.dll
error that AOL is known to flog customers over to Microsoft for even
though it is just that they installed software the is not compatible
with the AOL client.
Also, what website is it that you can't get into?

I agree with the half-baked. They ran Beta Tests with NS6 and AOL 7
together. It was decent, but slow. They are both bloated in that sense,
and when you run them together, geeez... Last but not least use a real web browser like IE or Netscape.

I agree, and that same analogy/comparison applies to AOL as well, does
it not? Strike 3. You mention Netscape, yet its a dead browser now. Its not
being developed any longer. But since you claim Netscape as your

Dead in the sense that its no longer being developed. AOL fired all the
developers. 7.2 was developed based on Mozilla, not on its own. Its
another "AOL Hack". But I still have my personal doubts as to the % of
"IE users" that everybody claims IE has, since the AOL browser falls
into most of those categories. Most stats don't differentiate between
AOL and IE, since they check the UA string for the string "Microsoft
Internet Explorer" or some variation of it.
