I'm with AOL for the internet and I can't use chats or anything because it says java is not enabled on my browser. I folled the instructions on channel fours website but that didn't work and aol help doesn't say anything about it!

Anyone know how to sort this plz???

Try this:

I went to aol keywords so there might be something there for you

thx for that only I thought aol used it's own browser. I'm sure it isn't internet explorer. It does say use internet explorer settings but in there the only thing that mentions java is already on enable. I changed it to prompt to see if that worked but it didn't change anything

If i try the chat in here i just get the outline of a box with a red cross in it. Thanks for trying anyway!

Ok im sorry it didnt work out, i have aol and i dont have any probs at all.
Im going to have a mess around with it to see if i can work it out.

Ok.. ok i found this...its the aol java problem thing, theres bound to be something there.

Hi There, made these changes, still won't work :( Obviously it thinks I do enough chatting without the chat rooms :thumbsup:

Wierd... if i were you id just go to keywords and try variations of the word Java and itll get you something eventually.

Failing that you could download a mirc script and get to thousands of chatrooms.

Think i'll try that, thanks for help :thumbsup:

Really sorry to say this but best thing you can do is get broadband if you don't have it already (from AOL) and then you don't have to use their browser... Sorry I can't offer any help..
:(

AOL runs on the IE rendering engine, try firefox and see if Java works on there fo you.
If you have a router you dont have to install AOHell's crappy 200MB software.

Hi, it is aols broadband that I have and i've now sorted it!! The files were dodgy on my java program so i've downloaed it again and it works!!! Thanks for everyones help!!

AOL?! Why?! Just, why?! Everyone knows they're crap, yet people still insist on using them?! :loopy:

Because I hadn't heard any comments at all before I signed up with them, other than this (which turned out nothing to do with aol) i've had no problems at all! I love the childrens safety feature too!! After the crap i had with tiscali and tesco, aol is a saint!!!

Yup i have aol too and theyre bloody good. Never had any probs with em.

Your getting slow Rich, it took you 11 posts before you started having a go at AOL!
