AOL question - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Ok, does NE1 kno how to make it so u don't get that annoying thing that says "Are you ready to sign off?" B/C I'm downloading Chicago and I don't wanna have it sign off in the middle of the night...so I was wondering if NE1 knew how to make it just let me stay on all night. B/C if I don't, that thing will come up after I'm away for 20 minutes and then sign me off.

When it says that "When your ready to sign off" Does it say a Yes or No button? If it does, Just hit theNo i'm not ready to sign off yet then everything should be okay. wish you luck

I'm doing the same thing!

I have 6.0 so it doesn't do that.

There used to be a program you could download and use to keep that from happening. I'll see if I can find it.

I found it. I used to use the one at the bottom of the page (when I had AOL) called 'WizOn', but that was a long time ago. So try the one at the top of the page. Hope it works.

*whimpers* It doesn't show up.

I think the reason it happens to some is that when the access number you called into is really full, it will then display that message to you so that if you're away from the computer you will be signed off then so others get a chance to come on.... Thats what Tech Support told me when I was gettin those messages, Though since then Ive changed access numbers and haven't had the messages...

Did you scan it to make sure it was virus-free?

Are we talking about a video file? 'Cause if it was an AVI file you won't be able to see any of it until you download a codec for Windows Media Player. If this is the problem let me know.
