Here's some tips for getting JAVA applets and
graphics to work better in AOL!
To make sure graphics look the way they should in
AOL:
1) In AOL, click on MY AOL
2) Next, click on PREFERENCES
3) Then click on WWW
4) Pick the far right tab that says WEB GRAPHICS
5) Make sure "USE COMPRESSED GRAPHICS" is NOT checked. Most web sites
use compressed graphics already. If you allow AOL to compress them even
more, they will look bad.
6) Click on OKAY.
Now the graphics in the greetings should look much
better!
For better Java Applet support (games, special
effects etc.):
1) Click on Start button (at left bottom of
screen)
2) Then click on Settings
3) Then Control Panel
4) Go to INTERNET (in the Control Panel)
5) When the gray screen appears, at the top of the gray screen, click
ADVANCED
6) Then scroll down till you see JAVA and check all the JAVA boxes that
are not checked (should be three of them).
7) Click APPLY AT THE RIGHT HAND BOTTOM of that gray screen.
8) Close everything and RESTART COMPUTER.
