I can't seem to run yahoo without turning on aol. I guess I need msn to do this. is that correct?

You have to have access to the internet before you can access Yahoo. If your ISP is AOL, and you're using a dial-up service, then yes, you will have to dial in, connect, and start the AOL service before you have access to Yahoo or anything else on the internet. \n\nMSN is also an ISP. Ditto for the above.\n\nWhomever your ISP is, which you didn't say, this service must be started for access to the internet. Once this service is started, no other service is needed. For example, you do not need MSN to access Yahoo, or vice versa, unless MSN is your ISP.

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!

MSN has a lot of server issues and its software is a bit more bloated than the rest. Also, in their new version, they only allow XP users to download. Many people still prefer Windows 98 so that leaves them out.\n\n Anything to do with AOL, and you are just asking for them to completely take over your computer. AOL instant messenger files take over your registry and changed things to incorporate aol into your computer. It if weren't for that, then AIM may be ok. \n\n Yahoo has a few problems (like to pc to pc calling..many are have issues with that), but Yahoo doesn't want you to pay for extra display pics and avatars (like both MSN AND AIM do), Yahoo doesn't have advertisements in their IM box (AIM does, but not sure about MSN), and Yahoo connections are always pretty good. 100%.... Yahoo messenger is the best

It sounds like you are paying for two services. If you have DSL from Yahoo you don't need AOL>

is it through yahoo, of sbc or aol, or something like that? mine used to be on aol, and i wanted one where i would be the only one using it, because my mom started reading my mail and found out a whole bunch of stuff she wasn't supposed to know, so i made a yahoo one, and i like it much better because she can't get in it, and also, you can check your mail anywhere, not just on your home computer. if you're already on yahoo, just make another one.

AOL is a old and nasty browser.\n\nTry Firefox instead\nhttp://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/\n\n///

You have to have AIM to talk to people with Aol. If your using Yahoo Messenger you cannot chat with your friend. So i recommened you download AIM here www.aim.com

MSN has been doing updates galore lately. My advice is to wait it out. Besides, im sure when its all over, it will be much better.\n\n\nFirefox For The World! http://getfirefox.com

definitely AIM...for Yahoo! Messenger the person you talk with has to have a Yahoo member ID. So it really depends on if a lot of people that you talk to use Yahoo! Messenger. But it still doesn't let you talk to anyone who has AIM or AOL or something like that.

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.

Use AOL's own email service or download another free email service such as yahoo or MSN, but don't forget to write down your password and details. Lest ye forget. Download from their website.

I have both MSN and Yahoo.  I like MSN because it seems a little more private to me.  Yahoo for instance, you have all of this SPAM instant messages coming up, perverted people sending horrible messages, etc.  You don't have to worry about that on MSN.

What do you mean? yahoo and aol are too seperate companies and applications...\n\nYou can sign on to AIM and YIM independetaly, by installing them on your computer. BUT, if AOL is your dial up / internet provider, then you have to be connected to AOL then log on to AIM.
