aol email mystery

I recently installed aol 8 on my win98 running about 96mb of ram.
Sometimes the email I send gets garbled and I have to send it again. Other times, when I try to print out an attachment, it prints garbled the first time, then ok the second time. Has anyone had this problem? Should I have more ram? I don't seem to have the problem outside of aol in my regular programs so I think it is some kind of problem specific to aol.

thanks

 

I'm not sure AOL has every quite gotten the hang of HTML email. Text does fine. Rich text does pretty well. HTML - still sorta iffy at times.

Same with pictures.

I have read lots of places that AOL8 was optimized for broadband. Do you have that or dial-up?

And the only real suggestion I could make is to switch browser/mail packages if you can. Again from reading (don't and won't use either one) MSN8 seems to come out on top in the head-to-head comparisons with AOL8.

 

Thought I would give you a follow up. 90 mgs of ram isn't enough for aol8 broadband. Should be at least 128 mg of ram.
Installed more and it fixed everything.

 

Glad you got that one figured out. But horrible to think any app designed to run on 98 would require that amount of memory. Ah well. Lucky thing that memory is pretty cheap these days.
