Quote: I just updated my AOL Desktop 9.6 to AOL Desktop 9.7. Prior, my default email was set to AOL Desktop 9.6 and everything was fine. After updating to version 9.7, my default email is not working or being recognized.
I went to Internet Explorer's Internet Options > Programs > and the Email is set to AOL Desktop 9.7.
I only have one desktop: The desktop provided by XP's GUI. Why AOL thinks it needs to add that added bureaucracy on top of MS-Bureaucracy and between that and your Internet tools sounds like an effort in futility and inefficiency.
I can't help you other than to provide the helpful advice to just axe AOL Desktop and learn to live without it. I admit to being openly hostile against AOL due to its sordid history and its inferior products. I am biased in that regard. So sue me.
A sidenote: I feel for Nullsoft. Great programming and tools that have been immune to the AOL "virus". But I guess Frankel has to make a buck somehow. At least Nullsoft didn't sell out its integrity and ethics along the way.
BTW, Seamonkey is my fave suite for hard-core Internet geekery. :-)
