That's ok. O0

I'm not sure about the aol browser thing. Try running it in good ole regular Internet Explorer.

To check your java (mine is brewing now hehe  :P)

Go to control panel

Double click Internet Properties
Click on the advanced tab
Scroll down a little and you will see:
Java(Sun) put a check in the box under it to use java
Micrisoft VM (only put a check mark next to JIT compiler)
Click apply
Click ok
Restart your pc

Hope this helps. O0

i was thinking of a couple of things.  1st seeing as how this auto is not a complete auto yet, it could be that it won't work until they fix it, and also maybe this auto only works on windows 95 and 98 and not on xp yet.  just a couple of thoughts.... >:D O0

Java is......

Developed by Sun Microsystems, Java is a programming language that is specifically designed for writing programs that can be safely downloaded to your computer through the Internet and immediately run without fear of viruses or other harm to your computer or files. Using small Java programs (called "Applets"), Web pages can include functions such as animations, calculators, and other fancy tricks. Java is a simple, robust, object-oriented, platform-independent multi-threaded, dynamic general-purpose programming environment. It is best for creating applets and applications for the Internet, intranets and any other complex, distributed network.

Sorry can't answer your browser question. I don't have aol. :-\
