If you have 9.0SE, you can use AOL Dialer. Right click on the icon in your taskbar and select AOL Dialer. It won't use much system resources compared to AOL 9.0's software.

i am using the latest beta of AOL 9.0 is that to what you are referring?

[Veiva]

If it has AOL Dialer, then yes. But I advise against using beta or alpha software; it is very dangerous. It can crash or hog p plenty of memory...

like i said in the other thread

no it wont charge you if you set it up correct

i.e use to the setup wizard to use the high speed connection and not the dial up one ,

if your using aol with DSL no you have to use the software

guys read the forum before replying and telling him to use dialup when hes on aol dsl

Aol dialer does the same thing as the software, it can be used for dial up or DSL

anyways aol tells you the same thing just saves you being put on hold for 40mins for they tech support .lol

Yes you can use it , if you prefer to check you can call aol and ask for a step by step guide

tel:0800 3764406

to get the tray icon back

go to start > run

type C:\Program Files\aol\aoltrayicon.exe

cant rememeber if the file name is correct, you should be able to check it on your system tho

just browse the aol folder on your system should find a file called soltray or aoltrayicon which brings back the tray icon

[stevonw]

Thanx alot ill give it a try!

[stevonw]

that directory aint in AOL 9.0 any1 know the correct directory 4 the dialer in AOL 9.0?

[fishie]

i remember when you could use the aol # and the user name/pw or some string and put it in windows dial up networking. that was the shizzle. then some aol hacker kid made a program you could use instead of aol based off the aol 2.5 client but i doubt that works anymore.

[stevonw]

Also i need help with setting up the POP3 E-mail on MSN plus 3 (I need 2 set up my Gmail account on it).....can any1 help me on that also!

orry i didnt want 2 start a whole new topic for it!

[NightWalker05]

lol dude just use the search and find ... look for either aoltrayicon or aoltray then click it which brings back the tray icon then right click it and use the dialer.

seems like you want to do things the hardest way possible
