AOL 3.0 for Windows 3.1 problem with password-protected pages

Solution to AOL 3.0 problem with password-protected pages

There is a problem with the browser that is part of version 3.0 of America OnLine for Windows 3.1, which prevents entering a password for a page that is loaded into a frame. In first accessing a password-protected page, AOL users should instead use these links to the Black Chip, CBJN and Green Chip pages. After you do this, you can return to the menu via the link at the top of each password-protected page. The left-frame menu links will work normally for the rest of the session and you can use them to enter all of the pages you have access to without re-entering your password.

We are only aware of this particular problem occuring with AOL's browser, and only in AOL 3.0 for Windows 3.1. We recommend that you instead use Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer with your AOL account. See AOL for details on how to do this. If you use Windows 95 or later, but still are using AOL 3.0 for Windows 3.1, you should install the latest AOL version for your operating system (though previous Win95 versions, 3.0 or later, should also work.)
