  1. Welcome, You've Got Mail, Goodbye voiced by Sonic the Hedgehog

    I love all the sound options you have for Welcome, You've Got Mail & Goodbye. However, could you make the 3 sound effects voiced by Ben Schwartz, Jaleel White, Tahj Mowry, Jason Griffith, Roger Craig Smith, and/or Christian Heywood. I figured since Sonic The Hedgehog has been very popular this decade with the movies, the Netflix series and Sonic Saturdays on Nickelodeon I thought it would be cool if one of the voice actors who played Sonic the Hedgehog could say "Welcome", "You've Got Mail" and "Goodbye" AOL effects.

    1. Ben Schwartz (voiced Sonic in Sonic Movie #1, #2 and #3).

    Information Requested  ·  AdminAOL Desktop Gold Support (Admin, AOL) responded

    We have investigated this issue and are not able to reproduce any problems with the celebrity voices on AOL Desktop Gold. Please consider uninstalling your AOL Desktop Gold from the Add/Remove programs function. Then re-install AOL Desktop Gold.

    In some cases, we have seen that Anti-virus software sometimes removes the sound files from the machine.


    Please also use the Report a Bug feature from the Help menu of AOL Desktop Gold if you continue to see this issue after installing new. This will send us critical information that we can use to determine the cause of the issue.

  10. I can not stop the message "do you want to delete" after trying to delete messages in bulk or single...very tiresome...seems to come and go.

    Planned  ·  AdminAOL Desktop Gold Support (Admin, AOL) responded

    Yes. Over the coming weeks you will receive a prompt to install .Net 8. This is a Windows requirement for AOL Desktop Gold to continue to make updates to its software and fix bugs that are reported by our community.


    If prompted, please click the accept button. Other applications will also be promoting .Net 8 in the near future.

  14. STOP THE COUNTLESS ADS covering every page.

    Have any of you geniuses at AOL even tried reading an article?? With all the ads covering the content of the article there are only small bits of written material between the ads -- making it so hard to read, it is not worth clicking on any article.

    I want to thank AOL for the increase of SPAM in my SPAM folder. I asked for it to stop and what do they do? Increase what they are dumping on me. I don't know of any other service that goes out of the way to increase SPAM. THANKS, for nothing.
