Question aol on windows 64

  #1  
Jun 27th, 2006
Can anyone get aol to worl on windows 64. is there any way to get it working even tho they dont support windows 64.

in another site someone said this:-
Success. Turns out the latest AOL cd-rom install did not install a 64bit winminiport, so it means no 64 bit driver was available to connect to the internet.

AOL 9.0 installs AOL Connectivity Service (ACS) 3.0 from the cd-rom. I was told to download a Beta ACS 4.0. When I did this, I was able to connect to the internet and both AOL 8.0 and 9.0 are now working well under Win x64.



and also:- After much hunting I found steps to run AOL 9.0 SE on windows XP Pro 64 Bit. You need to download "JRE 5.0 update 4" from java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp for AMD64 bit. I could not get on web at all with my 64 bit system so had to download ACS 4.0 beta to my 32 bit system then copy the file folder to cd along with the java download, then boot up 64 bit system and install, java, then aol 9.0 se and then go to control panel/add/remove programs and remove the AOL connectivity service reboot then install the ACS 4.0 beta. Now 64 bit and AOL work great.

but i haven't tried them yet anyone know anything about getting aol on windows x64 to work aol dosen't have the drivers.

would be most greatful if you could tell me as aol just keep sating we dont support windows x64:rolleyes:
