can i install aol on my work computer and use my aol account?

Yes you can.  When you place the installation CD into your work computer, click the "add my existing aol acount to this computer" option during the setup.  It will then ask for your screenname and password.  Type those in and you're good to go!  Good luck!

Yahoo is cool about letting you set up POP 3 accounts to re-route to their mail. I have three accounts that I read with Yahoo. It's great to have it all in one place. You just need to know your log-in and password. IF AOL will not let you retrieve mail with Yahoo (or any other POP3) then in my opinion you are being held hostage. All that money per month and they still force you to use their services so AOL can determine which ads you see. For $25/month you ought to be able to do anything you want!

Your work account may not be set up to be accessible from home. Check with your company's technical support people (helpdesk is a good place to start).  If they allow you to check email from home, they will either give you a web address to go to and read it over the web, or instructions for connecting to it at home. The software you use to read email is not as important as the way the server that holds the email is set up--- I'm an email engineer and I have many users who use Outlook/pc at home and Mac/Entourage at the office (or the reverse) and they can see everything from everywhere.

Change to a different provider.  Works wonders for solving AOL problems.

No idea, sorry, but I can tell \nyou that AOL sucks.\nI had so many problems with them over the past 2 years that I phased out using them entirely.\nUse your internet explorer and Yahoo! for your home page and life on the internet will become much easier.\nGood Luck.

Another dissatisfied AOL customer.  I'm not surprised.\n\n1.  Go to the AOL site and go to customer support or the like.  You'll probably have to do a little searching because they don't like to let paying customers leave.  Be firm once you get to someone in AOL 'cause they are going to try to convince you to stay with them.  Once you cancel your membership account follow what I've written for step 2.\n\n2.  GETTING RID OF AOL ON YOUR PC\n\nDo yourself a BIG favor. Remove anything on your PC that even mentions AOL. It is a resource hog and simply tries to take over your pc.\n\nClick on Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and remove any AOL programs residing there.\n\nNow click on Start > Search > For Files or Folders > All Files and Folders\ntype in AOL in the top box and let the computer do a complete search of your hard drive. When it is done, click on Edit at the top of the window and click on Select All\nThen click on File and click on Delete. It will ask you if you want to remove them. Click on Yes.\n\nIf you want to REALLY finish the job:\n\nNOTE: DON'T DO ANYTHING ELSE IN THE REGISTRY OTHER THAN WHAT I MENTION HERE. If you are not familiar with editing the registry and you do other things you may give yourself some big headaches.\n\nClick on Start > Run >\ntype in regedit\nclick once on the very top directory to hilite it.\nHold down Ctrl + F; this will open a search window\ntype in AOL and then click on Find Next\nwhen it finds an AOL entry, right click on it and select Delete and yes. (Do this if it is a folder in the left hand pane or if it is an entry in the right hand pane)\nHold down Ctrl + F again and repeat the process until you have cleaned your registry of all AOL items. This may be a very tedious process so hang in there.\n\nWhen you think you have it all out. Go back up to the top directory in the left pane, hilite it, and search for AOL once again just to make sure you didn't miss any.\n\nOnce you are completely done. Reboot your PC. This will reset the registry without all the AOL crap. Now you should be able to reset your home page without any problems.

probably ... aol support disks are available at most major department stores ... if you have the program on your PC, there is an 800 number provided that will feed you additional dialup  numbers for your area code.

AOL uses this device as a safety measure just in case you forget that you are still online. If there is no account activity after 45 minutes then AOL will kick you off as you found out. To my knowledge, there is no fix for this. It has been their security device for more than 5 years now and its part of their own AOL program. I used AOL ten years ago, and I remember they had this feature, but I guess they extended the time limit on it because when I used to have AOL, they kicked me off after 15 minutes.\n\nI am pretty sure though, that there is a macro program out there that will make AOL think you are still active. You definitely need a macro job for this that makes your computer do active things while you are away from keyboard.

internet is pretty universal but as far as just plugging it in and getting online. i think aol can work anywhere. as long as the computer your on has the aol program on it. you should be able to just plug it into the phoneline and sign on. be sure the phone plugs in kuwait are the same shape as american. i know british are different and i know in kuwait uses british electrical plugs.

If you mean cancelling your account, then YES!  They are absolutely the worst.  They will keep you on the phone for 30 minutes to an hour, they will keep telling you about all their services and offering incentives.  I told the guy that I was not interested in anything but cancelling and to put me through to his supervisor if he couldn't get my account cancelled within 2 minutes.  \n\nI use a wirelss broadband at home, but I was staying in a hotel that only had dial-up access so I installed the free 3 month trial of AOL.  BIG MISTAKE!  My laptop is still not the same.  \n\nAOL software is basically a huge virus that takes over all internet applications on your PC.  The only way to remove it is to wipe your hard drive and start over.  When I had my desktop in the shop, they told me that removing AOL from a system is one of the most requested tasks.\n\nYou couldn't pay me to use AOL.

In order to set this up, you will need to use something known as VPN, or Virtual Private Networking.  Setting this up will vary based your network at work.  If you simply need to access your work PC from home, I highly recommend LogMeIn.com.  They have a free version that may meet most of your needs.
