Improve AOL's Settings

Using AOL to browse the web? In our experience you may have problems viewing images properly on many graphically enhanced web sites. The default settings can easily be changed to allow viewing of images as they were intended. Follow the steps for the browser you are using:

AOL's Default Browser
  1. Choose "Preferences"
  2. Check "Uncompressed Graphics"
  3. Make sure only "Show current location," and Show destination of hyperlinks" are the only boxes checked.
  4. At the bottom of the box, click on "Advanced."
  5. Uncheck "Cache Web pages and graphics locally."
  6. Choose "Purge Cache."
  7. Click "OK".
Internet Explorer - AOL

  4. Click "Settings."

  6. For "Amount of disk space to use," choose "100% of drive."
