The AOL web
browser is a version of Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE). It is
a version that has been modified to "compress" graphics to an
.ART format so that they will load marginally faster. The problem is
that this compression happens by default. To turn it off:
- AOL 3.0 for Windows 3.1: Go to
the AOL menu bar, click on: Members - Preferences - WWW - uncheck the
"image compression" option and click OK.
-
AOL 3.0 + up for
Windows 95: Go to the AOL menu bar, click on: Members -
Preferences - WWW (or Internet Properties) - Web Graphics tab -
uncheck the "use compressed graphics" option and click OK. Then, you
must clear your cache! or your browser will show you the
website's pages from memory, not a fresh copy of the page
-
AOL 4.0: Go
to "My AOL", then to preferences, click on the "WWW" button, then from
the box that comes up, choose the "Web Graphics" tab. Click on to
UNCHECK the box for "use compressed graphics". Then, you must clear
your cache! or your browser will show you the website's pages from
memory, not a fresh copy of the page. To clear your cache
(memory) files from the AOL browser version 4: Go to the 'MyAOL' icon,
preferences, advanced, purge cache.
