AOL 9.0 and Windows Vista Beta 2

I installed Vista last night, but now I can't use AOL (I know... I still use
AOL with my broadband because I have the email address). For some reason,
even after reinstalling, the AOL program brings me to the welcome screen and
then disconnects and tries to start up again, getting caught in a loop. Any
suggestions?

Have you tried running it in Compatibility mode? Right click the executable,
click Properties > Compatibility and choose an appropriate version of
Windows, XP SP2 or 2000.

I really do enjoy wasting money... very observant. Anything better to do with
your life than criticize others? You're really a winner!

Have you tried using AOL suite?
I remember when I ran my upgrade advisor,it said there wasn't a Vista driver
for WAN Miniport,a part of the AOL software.

Did you do a dual boot or put it on a second computer? It may not be
compatible with Vista, atm. Although, you'd think AOL would be one of the
first to jump on it to hit the most customers!

AOL does install it's own network drivers as part of the install. Perhaps
those are not fully Vista compatible yet.

I can recommend keyword Beta. Maybe they have beta software in the works to
work with Vista.
