with about a bazillion of the setings to no avail. That's why i don't

use it...

Dear Mike ~ I am an AOL user, and have never had any problems viewing

videos, listening to music, etc. Now I am getting the Activex Pop-up. Like you

say,

if I click on it nothing happens, and then a Quicktime "Q" image appears in

the video screen with a bit question mark on top of it. Why does the Activex

pop-up come up on an AOL screen? I don't get it. If I install Firefox or

Netscape, then wouldn't that mean I would be going through one of them and not

through AOL? Confused and wanting to see the Amma videos ~ Silver City, NM,

Hi Linda,

 

You can log in using AOL, then open a Firefox (better than Netscape,

IMO) window and browse the net using Firefox. The AOL will have to

remain open like a dummy window; you can use it for AOL chat if you

wish; for browsing, you can use either Firefox or AOL. assume you will

use Firefox.

 

I know this works because I was an AOL user once.

 

I also think Firefox should solve your problems here and in the DM

video links! .

 

you will get Firefox for free at www.download.com (need to click

through a few more links once you are there).

 

Jai Ma!
