    A O L has now made it impossible for me to open a story on mostly any e mail I receive.

    Memo to AOL

    On Sunday 7/19,
    I called AOL concerning a problem receiving emails. I spoke with Precious. To verify my account and since I have only a landline that does not do text, we had to find another way to verify my account. She found a way and we proceeded. I was concerned about possible hacking of my account and Credit Card. Precious handled everything and cleared problems. She added Malware to my account. She also provided me with some helpful tips. A very positive experience

    On Monday 7/20, I cancelled my Credit Card (which is…

  6. How update time zone abbreviations when changing from Standard to Daylight

    Someone please advise why the time designation does not automatically change when Daylight Saving Time begins (as other systems do). AOL not changing from Standard Time abbreviation, i.e. EST to EDT. This happened last year too. The actual time seems to be correct but the abbreviation is not. (A clock is correct once a day but that is no excuse) Is there a way for me to correct? The designation appears on emails.

  7. It seems that forever now, the "email-us" link STILL never is operating

    It seems that STILL, forever, the "email-us" link NEVER works, is operational... ALSO, on the software drop-down, "check for updates" still never works...ALSO, the " computer protection plan, which is supposed to have a $750 per year free maintenance, repair, replace benefit(s), is NO longer free...They nowadays CHARGE a $75 fee to replace, repair computers, monitors and such... Just another rip off, and unfair greedy deal... Doctor Dave Bengard.

    "waol-embed" does not have a registered program

  19. AOL needs to stop pushing software on its customers. One just ruined my computer hard drive.

    Years ago I had purchased Systems Mechanic, discovered it didn't live up to its performance and I canceled it. Then last year, AOL representative pushed hard for me to buy the new version, saying it would really help me keep my computer running well. Yesterday I had done a memory defrag that recommended several passes. Then right after I noted suddenly I could no longer transfer files from my C drive for a weekly back up session. I have a contract with HP Smartfriend and the tech support did an excellent job in trying to get my file transfer working…
