According to AOL's staff, this error means that you do need AOL's software. AOL is a service, not an ISP. As such it requires several MS Windows files to access several servers' services simultaneously. This is the reason AOL's software turns IE 6 into the AOL browser.

AOL and Linux do not mix well. Yahoo is now a similar AT&T service likewise inimical with respect to Linux. These services expect MS Windows XP SP3 or higher, but not BL3. Even Windows 2000 is oft prone to errors as unsuported.

Disgustingly poor anti-Linux coding!

The error I get when trying to access AOL Mail with Opera 8.54 is "Illegal or Non-verifyable Certificate".
Maybe they changed the certificate format?

Sindi, the idea of removing 8.54 is so that I can then install 9.27 or 9.64. 8.54 takes up space I need for other stuff. I don't want to just leave it on the hard drive. Setting the ID to "Mozilla" may be a valid work around though. AOL puts advertising on their logon screen that takes up the whole screen when set to 800x600 or 1024x768 but they have changed the ad again so the "Member ID" and "Password" fields may be accessible today. Yesterday they were pushed too far to the right.
The problem I am having with Yahoo is for some reason it thinks I'm using a "Hand Held" device such as a cell phone, not a PC with a full-size screen.
For various reasons I am committed to staying with Yahoo mail and especially AOL Mail. Changing would cause a
"family crisis"!!!
