AOL and VSU Vista
NOTE: Even though WebCT validates the AOL 9 Browser, it is typically unreliable with WebCT Vista. AOL users should use Internet Explorer or another validated browser instead. See the Recommended Browsers list to download a validated browser (or upgrade them) on your computer.
If you are an AOL user, follow these directions to access WebCT Vista:
AOL Version 9
- Connect to the Internet using AOL
- Click on the Settings icon for a list of options.
- Set Pop-up Controls - allow pop-up windows when viewing Web sites. Pop-up windows are an integral part of of some WebCT Vista features. You can also set pop-up controls by entering AOL Keyword: Pop-up Controls.
- Set Internet (Web) Options -under Internet (Web) Options, click the AOL Browser Tab. Under the TopSpeed setting, select Do Not Store Web Pages.
- Open a private chat within AOL. This allows the AOL Browser client to remain open without disconnecting you while the browser is minimized.
- Minimize AOL.
- Launch a supported browser such as Internet Explorer, Netscape, or Firefox. (See Recommended Browsers)
- Follow the instructions on the Getting Started with Vista page to prepare your browser settings.
