Windows Vista?!?

I recently installed Vista from a site and paid the money, but AOL won't load and keeps restarting. Also, my Anti-Virus software won't work either. Am I totally screwed? :(

And if so, how can I get the AOL back? I want the right version of AOL!

Hi, I would suggest that u try to check whether that version of AOL was designed for Microsoft Windows Vista, and if not try to run it in compatibility mode for Windows Xp. If that doesn't work then u r going to have to get a version of AOL that works with Vista. Yeah ur antivirus software may not be supported by Vista. Get a new version of it or I recommend that u download AVG free. It is designed for Microsoft Windows Vista.

He's right. Not everything is going to work with Windows Vista. Windows Vista is at a higher level in software than Windows Xp. Report It


Um... you don't ''install Vista from a site''. Sounds like you might have just thrown some money away. You'll need to purchase a valid licence from Microsoft.

What site did you install Vista from? If it wasn't microsoft.com, you're probably screwed.
For an upgrade you should have used Windows Vista Upgrade advisor to scan your system to see what if any version you can upgrade to and other information needed to do the upgrade.For AOL go to their site and download AOL 9.0 VR it can be used on XP or Vista.It also appears this copy of vista you got was not certified by Microsoft, uninstall it and whatever else you installed, you will have to reinstall your anti virus. Good luck
right click the aol exe and select the compatibility tab,
