  2. Screen going black

    SCREENS CHANGING SIZE AND TURNING BLACK:

    I use Desktop Gold as my primary browser. I log onto Gold with the main AOL Gold strip at the top, and the Welcome screen to my left and then also My Favorites screen on my right. Everything seem OK as long as I continue doing something on the desktop or internet, but as soon as I let it go idle for 10-15 minutes or so, my screen goes to sleep(as I do have it set for that feature) but also I start hearing"bubble" type notification sounds in the background. If and when I…

  3. I cannot download an email attachment or print an email to a PDF printer. I have reported this bug 3 times and no response.

    Fix AOL Desktop Gold. I expect to get what I pay for. I have reported this bug 3 times and no response. This problem started within the last 2 weeks. I can go to AOL in a browser and then I can either download an attachment or print to a PDF printer. Why is it not working in AOL Desktop "Gold?" I have been using the same computer, with the same settings, with the same operating system, with the same network, with the same internet provider for at least 7 years. Also, get rid of all of the awful ads…

  5. Fix Video Player

    Fix your video player! Every time I try to watch a video on your Aol.Video service, I get this: "Sorry, a network error caused the video download to fail. Please refresh and try again." Why? I watch videos all the time on my computer, this only happens of AOL! Why? I thought this was the new and improved AOL. Please fix it!

  10. What Does GMME Stand For?

    If you're a beta tester, then you'll be using beta client software. The opt-out of beta to drop back to a GA release is to enter AOL Keyword "GMME". What I'd like to know is what does GMME stand for?

  11. Opening up news topics

    Why do I have to click on a headline 3-4 times before the headline opens up? I have a new and fast computer. This issue is 100% AOL. Are you updating your old and aged system?

  12. To save or not to save log in password

    Once I select "do not save password" for log in, that should never change unless I do so. To keep having the "save password" box automatically checked, when switching screen names, even after selecting "NO", is aggravating and wrong on your part.

  14. AOL Desktop Gold - Display Compatibility

    AOL desktop gold is not displaying the email items and icon correctly on my computer. Whenever I hover over the email items it keeps on zooming and looks distorted. Icons are also missing when I hover over them. Tried to open this on safe mode and the distortion stopped happening but when I went back to normal mode this still keeps happening. I hope anybody can do something about this.

  15. I am SICK of this!

    I am SO SICK of having to reset my settings EVERY TIME I WANT TO PLAY GLOBESPOTTER! It never works the first or even the third time because I just don't know which white circle to click on. I know what I want to play and it's not up to AOL to make it so blastedly hard for me to do it!

  18. AOL Starts From Scratch Each Day

    Since AOL Gold installed an update on 12/15/20, AOL is so much harder to use. All the info I input in a day is gone after I turn off my computer at night. The next day my Favorites from the Toolbar are gone, my Favorite Places list is gone (many items on it I've saved for years), and I have to log in with ID and Password each time despite indicating I want them both saved and automatically inserted. What's going on? The Toolbar favorites and places are very important to me... One of the main reasons I've stayed with…
