AOL User Instructions

AOL version 3.0 lets you run any Internet program over your AOL connection, and that means you can use any Web browser (a program that displays Web pages). For a choice of Web browsers and other Internet applications, go to Stroud's Consummate Winsock Applications Web site to download them. Once you've installed your new software, follow the directions below to use them.

How To Use Another Browser:
1. Sign on to AOL. Seeing the Welcome screen or hearing the "Welcome" sound confirms that you've signed on.
2. Open the browser of your choice. You can begin to surf immediately.

Once you sign off, your Internet connection is lost, and you won't be able to use other Internet applications until you've signed on again.
Tip: Always be sure to open the AOL software *before* the Web browser software. You may have problems using the browser if you open that software before the AOL software.

Note:  If you are using Windows95, and wish to use Windows95 (32-bit) Internet Software, you must use the Windows95 version of AOL. Click on the Help Menu and choose About America Online. If it does not say "for Windows95", then you have the regular Windows (Win3.x) version. You need to download and install the Windows95 version, which you can get at Keyword: upgrade.
