Im Not Sure if This Is The Right Thing To Leave A Message Under Or Not But I Really Need Help. I Have Aol. And I Think Aol Doesnt Play Videos And Things Period. It Wont Play Music or Videos. And if It Does Play It'll Play Bits And Pices Of What Im On. Im Not Sure if Its Aol Or Its Just Something I Need To Download . I Used To Have Comcast And Everything Played Perfectly But Once I Switched Over To Aol Nothing Plays. I Saw Aol So I Just Came To This. Does Anyone Know What I Can Do To Make Videos And Music Work?

Get off AOL?
And why oh why did you capitalize every word? It makes it hard to read.
Seriously though, your problems are probably local to your computer, not AOL. -
Sorry =[
Its a habit. But its not my computer. Ive been asking around and everybody who has aol says that it does that. And i cant get off aol. Its the program that i have now.Comment

Why not? Are you using dialup? If you have broadband, AOL is absolutely unnecessary. AOL is just a browser when you are using broadband. You are buying internet access from someone else.
If you aren't using dialup, uninstall AOL. It's that simple. Go back to using Internet Explorer.
AOL is a company that serves no purpose in the modern world, and needs to die off.Comment

NOOOOOOO!!! we need them, as the old saying goes: If you cant be a good example, be a horrible warning.Originally posted by insertAlias
In all fairness they dug their own hole, they just refused to evolve, which in IT is suicide, so let them struggle on so that all the new IT guys can see what being stubborn/ignorant/lazy will do to you in this industryComment

Stop capitalizing every word
It makes it hard to read.
Yes, there's a difference between dialup and broadband. If you can afford cable/dsl internet, you should get it, because at it's slowest its 10 times faster than dialup. And it's typically not much more expensive (although I don't know where you live, my experience is in America).
AOL is the worst company you could have chosen. They overcharge for "features" that nobody has needed for 15 years. You can have an AOL email and messenger for free, why should you pay them for internet access?
If you can't get broadband, you should still go with a different dialup company. One that won't overcharge you.Comment

Ok. Well i try to get broadband. But other than than theres no way that i can be helped?Comment

The problem is that your connection is so slow that it can't play videos or music because it can't download them fast enough.
You say that occasionally it'll play bits and pieces, that's because it is coming in slower than it is playing.
You could pause it, and walk away for a few minutes, and come back, and some of it should play.
But dialup is a thing of the past.Comment

Dialup is replaceable, for a price. If broadband is too expensive, there are competing companies such as AT&T, NetZero, etc... who also do dialup.Originally posted by Denisha00
As to your original question, it sounds like 1) an AOL-specific issue that someone who had AOL would need to help you with. If you are an AOL subscriber, this would be a better question for their support - which should be available by phone or email as listed on their bill.
Or, possibly, this could be a hardware issue - what is your current CPU/RAM/HD configuration? (BTW - especially with dialup, streaming media such as video would take a VERY long time, so it may be that it's just loading extremely slowly)Comment

That makes sense.

What part of "Don't capitalize every word" don't you understand?
Right click your "My Computer" and click properties.
The last paragraph: "Computer:" should have all the information you need.Comment
