AOL Users:

As a result of AOL recently updating it's web browser , some features that made saving wav files easy are now totally gone. The AOL browser uses a sound program from which the file being played cannot be saved onto your computer. However, this can be fixed so you can play and save wav files:

When running AOL, click on "Members", go down to "Preferences". Click on the "WWW Icon". Then click on The "Helper Applications Icon". Scroll down to the bottom and click once on "WAV". Then click on "Modify". Click on "Use a Separate Application". From there, select a separate application (such as Windows Sound Recorder or Media Player) that can play wavs and save them. Click on "OK". After all that, you should hopefully be able to save all sorts of wavs you find on the internet.
