  3. When Gold is open the entire computer is slowed down.

    When Gold is open the ENTIRE COMPUTER is slowed down. AOL Thinks I am saying The Desktop is slow, NO. It slows down other programs. When I get to work and turn on my computer, if I do not open Gold Desktop, everything opens quickly and with no problem, Word, Excel open in seconds. Once I open Gold Desktop everything is slowed down very very very much. It takes Word over 30 seconds to open if not more. The same with other programs. Firefox opens and then hangs just to open the basic page.
    Why is this happening? All during…

  5. AOL Gold email needs to be remedied

    When sending email and especially with attachments, frequently error messages appear and instruct to try again later. This rarely happened with previous versions of AOL. The new "Gold" should not have been rolled out until it was better prepared

  7. Refund monies when unable to access netFailed to load URL https://search.aol.com/aol/search?q=national%20archives%2c%20washington&s_it=loki-

    I've been paying aol for over 15 years and at this hour am unable to gain access to any site. WHY?
    Someone should be able to program simple tasks and stop screwing with updates that only delay and harm customers.

  8. Issues with everything

    There's a huge problem when you can't log on to AOL from your own desktop but you can with any of the other servers! There's loads of disgruntled people who hate Gold but guess what.. they're not listening!!!!!! I could go on forever! No blocking mail the easy way. No address book on the side. No way to access emails when offline! When trying to access AOL the screen just sits there blank! I used to be able to click my search email without typing in an address so I could bring all of them up and go thru and…

  11. Virus threat thwarted when opening Huffington Post article

    This is the second time this happened. As soon as I clicked on the article a notice came up from my Bitdefender program that they weren't letting me go to the page because there was a threat. It's not enough that the Huffington Post is a horrible publication? Now this??

  13. AOL Gold sucks

    1 I haven't been able to sign in for the past 24 hours due to "security reasons". #2 I don't know what good it will do to give my email address since I can't sign in. #3 Aol Golds is the worst internet experience ever, go back to the old aol Desktop.

  14. Midis don't play on this browser.

    They play in Internet Explorer. Please fix this. I have tried several different midi codes to no avail. For this and for other reasons I have been using Internet Explorer as my browser. Also, when I right click on properties on a graphic all I get is the name of the file. Internet Explorer shows a lot more info thn that. This is a horrible browser.

    Put it back to the way it was on AOL 9.8 where you click the email envelope which automatically attaches the attachment to a new email. If you could do it before why not with the new AOL Gold.

    THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN AND I CAN'T FIND THE 1630 UPDATE

    If the version is lower than 11.0.1630, keep the AOL Desktop signed in for at least 20 minutes then close and reopen the software. The update should automatically upload.
