The AOL browser is not able to properly run Java based chat programs, applets or games.

AOL browser runs a saved copy of each applet from a cache folder on the computer, so the applet now running in the browser may not be the most current version.

• Clear the web cache and delete temporary files. This will force the browser to download and cache the latest version of the applet from its web site.
• Optimize your AOL browser settings.
• If there are still problems after clearing the cache, try using another browser, such as Mozilla or Internet Explorer to run Java applets.
• If these suggestions do not help solve the issue, please refer to the AOL Support site
