Windows 98 SE compatiblity with AOL 9.0 SE

BarbaraInMemphis · Oct 27, 2006

I know I'm still in the dark ages with Windows 98 SE but I'm having trouble staying connected to AOL with 8.0. AOL has suggested uninstalling 8.0 & installing 9.0 SE. When 9.0 was first introduced, I was told that 9.0 & Windows 98 SE did not get along. Does anyone know or have suggestions on how to resolve connectivity issues? Are Windows 98 SE & 9.0 SE compatible?

Thank you.
