If you are experiencing problems, we recommend that you try the steps listed below. It is advised that you print this screen before you continue as there may be occasions when you will need to close AOL for troubleshooting and this will prevent you from reading the required steps.

- In here, select the screen name that is having trouble with secure sites. If it is all screen names then each screen name will need to be checked individually in the Edit Controls For: box.

- Then Click on Web Controls for that screen name. In here make sure that Access all Web sites (Recommended for Adults only) is checked and click on Save and then OK.

* Please Note: It may be necessary to reset a Kids Only / Teen / Young Adult to General Access to test this step. Please remember to reset that account back to its previous setting after testing if necessary.

Once you have completed this step, you should launch AOL again and see if the problem is solved. If the problem persists, please continue with the next step.


STEP 5: Check the browser supports 128-bit encryption.

- Begin by first signing on to AOL as normal. Minimise the AOL software by clicking the _ button in the top right hand corner of the screen.

- On the left of your screen, you should see an Internet Explorer icon - a blue 'e'. Double click this to start Internet Explorer. This will bring you straight to your home page.

- If you do not have an icon on your desktop for Internet Explorer, try looking in the Start menu (Click Start, select Programs/All Programs and click Internet Explorer).

- Once Internet Explorer is opened, click on Help on the Internet Explorer toolbar, and then click on About Internet Explorer.

- An About Internet Explorer window will now open. Check that the Cipher Strength = 128-bit. If not please click on (Update Information). This will open the Microsoft Internet Explorer High Encryption Pack update web page. You will need to download and install this pack to adjust the Cipher Strength to 128-bit.
Once you have completed this step, you should launch AOL again and see if the problem is solved.
