I just updated my AOL Desktop 9.6 to AOL Desktop 9.7. Prior, my default email was set to AOL Desktop 9.6 and everything was fine. After updating to version 9.7, my default email is not working or being recognized.
I went to Internet Explorer's Internet Options > Programs > and the Email is set to AOL Desktop 9.7.
But for some reason, it's not working. When I try to utlilize the default email feature such as clicking on a "Send As Email" link... instead of the AOL program opening with it's mail... I get a error message saying:
"Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request."
Also, if I click on the control panel's "Set Program Access and Defaults" > Custom > AOL is not listed as an option under "Choose a default e-mail program:". The only option is "Outlook Express".
Also, if I right click on the Windows Start Menu button and click Properties > Start Menu tab > Customize... > Show on Start Menu > "Email" is checked and "AOL" is selected. But when I click on the Windows Start Menu button and I click on the "AOL Email" at the top of the Start Menu, I get an error message saying:
"Access is Denied"
and then another message saying:
"The item you selected is unavailable. It might have been moved, renamed, or removed. Do you want to remove it from the list?"
Clicking on the "AOL Mail" at the top of the Start Menu is supposed to open the AOL program and it's mail. But instead I get those error messages.
I've detailed my problem very thoroughly and explained it as much as possible. I really hope someone will know how to get AOL working as my default email?
(My computer is Windows XP 32-bit)

Thought to myself, "AOL is still kicking?"
