aol help: I do not want automatic AOL. - Help.com

I do not want automatic AOL.

Yet it comes on during the day, and I have dial-up therefor, when I get a phone call I do not know it until I walk in the room and see it on call alert. How do I disenable automatic AOL. It’s so frustrating, I’ve looked at everything!

Are you looking for answers about problems with your AOL service?

I’d like to recommend that you ask AOL directly since they are best suited to help you.

For AOL support, you can visit the AOL support site or even call them at an AOL toll free number.

While working off-line updating my genealogy data, AOL launches to connect me to the internet when I do not wish to be connected to the internet. It has become very annoying not to mention the constant interference it causes while I am working off-line. I have had to actually quit and shut down my computer completely. When I turn my computer on, AOL immediatly starts to launch to the internet. Please correct and disable the automatic AOL launching. I need to be in control of my computer and go on AOL when I desire to do research.

I hope this all that needs to said on this issue.

Thanks,

Ellen W.

If you do not want automatic aol, please read this reply. I recently had the same problem. It drove me crazy! I tried everything. Fortunately, the cyber gods smiled on me. I sought help at Help.com (hence, this reply). I should have gone to aolhelp.com (no regrets!). I clicked on Automatic AOL and followed the prompts.
I said “no” to every scheduled task. Finally, I was able to put my computer’s control back into my own hands. So, please try to stay calm. It’s almost over. Take my advice, when your computer asks you: DO YOU WANT TO SCHEDULE AUTOMATIC AOL, please be smart and say “no”. Good luck to you out there!

Please remove me from this automtic AOL that sends mail that isn’t even written. The pop-ups would drive anyone to another carrier. Who’s in charge at AOL and why don’t they listen to their customers

I also have a problem with AOL starting all bt itself. I notice that many of the questions in this area above read “This account has been deactivated”. Would you rather lose customers or solve the problem?

No reply? Fine. Other carriers are surely available at lower cost.

I have located how to turn off AOL starting automatically. Sign on to your AOL. On the toolbar you’ll see SETTINGS. Go to the START UP SETTINGS. You’ll get a screen that will show you ENABLE FAST START. UNCHECK THIS. This should do the trick.
