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!

You can also watch events on Help.com as they happen

I am giving up thanks again
I guess I will have to put up with this interuption all the time.
I actually thought that at last I had found someone who could help.
Thanks anyway.
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!

I do not want automatic aol
thankyou
I do not want automatic aol as it pops up all the time and I have to keep the computer on
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.
Send me an email on how to shut-off ( automatic-aol).
Ican not shut down my computer aol keeps comming back on

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.
I don not want automatic aol. it is very awkward and clumsy and annoying

I had to uninstall AOL 9.0 and reinstall as I was unable to get on line using AOl and am having to read my aol mail via Internet Explorer. When I tried to sign on to the newly installed 9.0 they had given me a screen name of smithoct and I have no password for that screenname. My screen name is OctoberJo and I wish to continue using that screen name and my password which I have had for over ten years. Please tell me how I can get you people to reset my screen name from smithoct to OctoberJo and accept my password and allow me to sign on? I am getting very frustrated. Additionally, they have me on Broadband instead of DSL and that needs changing. Please HELP.

AOL in their wisdom have just scheduled “Automatic AOL” for me.
I didn’t ask for it, and it is an unwanted intrusion. Thanks to this website - I have found how to stop it. It is of little comfort to know how many other AOL users have complained - but why have AOL done this?
I also have a second intrusion which started about the same time. This is a “Search Screen” which overlays part of my working screen and has to be removed before I can continue working. Another AOL bonus? March 2009.
RIKI
I have not used Automatic AOL, but I did download it. I wish to remove that software. Please do so.

What the hell are you talking about? and I am not your cowboy or anyone else’s.
