Has anyone else downloaded the updated version of windows 8 and gotten this extra pop from aol that says compression? I have looked over everything and I cant figure out how to remove it. I dont want to have to wipe my harddrive again.
-
No, I haven't got that message. What I keep getting is your computer is not connected to the Internet! It worked fine for a few days, now it won't let me get past that message. I'm using my old Windows 7 or I Pad. Guess I will have to have someone check it out! :BangHead: :BangHead:

I also keep getting that. I have to run all kinds of scans and sometimes I even have to reboot. My sister bought a brand new computer running windows 8 and she keeps getting the internet connection lost.

I did a quick google search and found that you probably need to turn off the AOL compression feature... The compression feature basically compresses your webpages (making it faster to receive) and then aol unzips it
Here is the website that I found: http://www.horaceholmesstudio.com/aol.htm (http://www.horaceholmesstudio.com/aol.htm)
Btw: If it was a pop-up from AOL, you don't need to wipe your hard drive because it's usually a setting/preference from AOL... Wiping hard drive is a lengthy and annoying process.. If it was an error like a corrupted/broken compression then you might want to reinstall AOL browser
My suggestion to you is to not use AOL services... There are other more better services out there

I went to that link and I couldnt find what they were talking about on my browser. I do thank you for your help. I will try installing ie again.

No help here... still on Windows 7. I'm not much of a fan of the new looks of 8, but maybe after I make the switch I'll like it.
-
Ive heard alot of techies saying that they dont like 8. I was also told if you dont have a touchscreen with it you wont like it either. They are already coming out with 8.1.
-
I wait until they get all the glitches fix before I get windows 8.

Consult your local library and see if they can help you.

I am still running Windows 7. I have heard that there is a lot of problems with Windows 8. Further I am having other problems with my PC and I do not those problems compounded with Windows 8. The most annoying problem I am having is that currently I can no longer create new folders. The option to create New Folders is currently grayed out and is not working. I think I had this same problem at work and I believe the tech told me that it was a registry issue with Windows.

I am still running windows 7, have not updated to windows 8. I have heard from people in the IT community that windows 8 is not all that great for computer use, they seemed to upgrade it for smart phone, tablet use. I will stay with windows 7 for my computer.

i just found out why it keeps saying no internet access, the wireless router was working aginest the cable modem, useing the wire now, get faster internet using wire anyway..

I dropped AOL so long ago, just not necessary anymore. It might be a virus, I would do a google search on exactly what is happening.

Thank you all

When I go to help and support and it gives me the message I am not connected to the internet. I don't use AOL. The problem I am having now is that my cursor skips all over the page when I am typing. It is so frustrating because I don't know what caused it to go crazy or how to the problem.
-
Well it looks like lots of problems with Window 8. Hum! I am still using Windows 7. I was wondering if Windows 8 was good, but I've heard lost of issues with it. I guess I will stay with my Window 7 until they take care of all those clichés. 8)

I was told that internet explorer causes that. The only thing that they told me to do was change browsers or reinstall it.

I still use Windows XP, but I have a good friend I need to help a lot and he has Windows 8 that works fine. I work on it a lot and never have a problem. After all, it's an operating system and they all do the same thing, run programs.
-
Ill give it a try. TY
-
no I have not had this problem because the new laptop I bought had windows 8 on it. Windows 8 takes some getting used to, but I'm beginning to like it.

Not if you use Linux instead of Windows.

With linux does it allow you let you use toolbars and such?

I am running wndows 8 and it is taking some time to get used to but I am not having any problems with it yet, but I will be on the look out thanks for heads up!!

I don't honestly know since I don't use them, but that should be a function of your browser and not the operating system
I do use the Simple Timer add-on for Firefox and it works fine.

When I bought my laptop I bought it with windows 7 due to not liking it and the way it works. I have heard from a lot of people also that windows 8 is not as good as they make it out to be. I also have windows 7 on my home computer which i like alot. No problem so far, just having problems with the daily email in my inbox to open.
