Hi all, I've just upgraded to Windows 7 and use AOL Desktop 9.7. The problem is that the mailbox appears in a very small font and for an old'un like me, reading it is a bit of a challenge. All efforts to resolve this have failed - can anyone help?

Many thanks, Rob.

I thought AOL had gone bust from printing bazillions of free CD's in the 1980's.
I'd love to help, but I'm just a bit stunned really. Sorry.

Yea, AOL was like the herpes of ISPs, you could never get rid of it without a format and reinstall

Yes, go to gmail.com and get a new email address and ditch AOL. It's awful shitware from the 90s and you should not be using this in 2015.

Agreed - ditto. You should hopefully be able to put a forward on your AOL account and get Google to send using your AOL email address so you don't have to change addresses if you don't want to.
