Also when I click on read e-mail the AOL desktop system becomes unresponsive again and hangs for about 30 seconds before email displays. It does not appear the e-mail has been refreshed. ALso when I open an email to view the contents and then close the email, the email inbox listing screen contents is wiped and not refreshed automatically after it is overlayed with another window. I have to click on read email again to be able…

No notice half the time that email has been sent. 3-5 waiting for sent mail for come up to see if it had.
Half time sending an email never told it was sent..Moving over to Sent, it's takes anywhere from 3-5 minutes to find out IF it was sent. Between the screen freezing, "AOL not responding, then it does, the circle appears then Not resonding appears, then screen freezing ALL THE WHILE the adds keep appearing! Even with no mail in mailbox and then Mail is sent and recieved, no "You got Mail" is heard!

AOL DOWNLOADS
I had to delete AOL because I thought software was corrupted. I've been trying to download AOL Desktop Gold for two days but can't see how to do it without downloading other *. You need to have a site so people can find it and download it easily. Frustrated and ***.
You can always download the software by browsing to Here

Browser/Email problems
I'm having a number of problems. When I delete one email from my mailbox, it frequently deletes the next 2 or 3 as well. Loading emails to read often requires several attempts since the email shows up blank. Pages I am reading often close out with an aol search error message even though it was loaded correctly. The system has slowed down.
Please use the Report a bug option in the Help Menu. This will send us valuable information necessary to determine the cause of the issue in order to find a solution.

Enlarging a page
When I try to enlarge a website by using the square box next to the red X, there's a pop-up showing a multiple split screen overlay. Please omit the split screen feature. All I want to do is enlarge the page like before.
This is a result of the windows magnifying functionality.

I spent 45 minutes on hold with two different people. The first just referred me to another who while trying to help me, dropped the call.
Hire people that know your software. The person in tech support did not know that your company has stopped separating emails from people in my address book and everyone else. So now, many of my important emails are going to the spam folder.

I am so tired of the CefSharp.browser.subporcess.exe. It continues to tie up my CPU with huge memory use.
I hate aol s use of cefsharp.browser supprocess.exe. It ties up huge portion of my CPU in ways that stalls my computer. I called the help desk and they are helpless to do anything. If it continues I am considering dropping aol after all these years. The really needs fixing. Internet explorer does not use this and it works great, better than aol and its free.

Help
Do away with overseas representatives on your help site. They are in a tight small office or home. The back ground noise drowns out the conversation. The accent is terrible. They do not know what to do. They can not confirm they are actually AOL.

2. Use the Flag feature in chat. Hover over the right of the comment where the 3 dots in a line are, then click the flag and submit the report.

common courtesy
Lets have a little courtesy when on chat, yes you may be busy Arthur S but I waited to talk to you and did not get the complete information and when I asked to wait you cut me off Extremely rude an unprofessional for a paying customer. I think you should wait until the customer is satisfied with the help you have suggested and to make sure the customer is satisfied
It might be a good idea to hire a few more people to help in the chat sessions instead of being so rude and unhelpful to your customersWe’re sorry to hear about your experience.

Why do you CLOSE out comments, in most cases, without telling us what you did to address the problem? or if it's corrected
What do you have in your mind to CLOSE out comments, in most cases, without telling us what you did to address the problem and what you have found is the solution. AOL needs to take responsibility for the #$% Gold software that you KNOW isn't properly working. Your tech support has no support from YOU and thus can't answer or fix problems. It's not the tech person's fault but they are the one's who get the brunt for your poorly designed and disintegrating "service" and software. I'm paying for the service for the last years and Gold just keeps…
