I have uninstalled AOL Computer Checkup because it did not work. I want to reinstall it as well as AOL (McAfee) Security Suite (McAfee). Also, when I click on my address book, the window is now empty of all my email addresses.

Installing AOL Computer Check-Up

Please note that AOL Computer Check up will not work on 64-bit systems so that could explain why it didn’t work for you before if that is the type of system that you are using. You can obtain the download for AOL Computer Check up that AOL offers to its subscribers by following this link: AOL Computer Check-Up. In addition to conducting regular scans to check on your computer’s performance, it can also assist by improving your system’s performance as it will check for possible methods of improving its functioning through the hardware and settings.

Installing AOL Security Suite (McAfee)

Installing AOL Security Suite from McAfee is easily accomplished since AOL provides a direct link, AOL Security Suite from McAfee, for you to use. When you visit the link, you need to select the download on the left-hand side of the screen. This application is free for AOL subscribers. It is designed to provide standalone security protection for your computer.

It is important to meet the system requirements for this application to avoid problems downloading and installing it. Minimum requirements include Internet Explorer 6.0 and higher, at least 200 MB of hard disk space, a minimum of 256 MB of RAM for Windows 2000 and XP, and a minimum of 512 MB of RAM for Windows Vista. If you have Windows 2000, you must have Service Pack 4 or higher installed. If you have Windows XP, you must have Service Pack 1 or higher installed. For Windows 2000 and XP, you need to have a 500 MHz or higher processor. For Windows Vista, you need to have an 800 MHz or higher processor.

Troubleshooting Missing E-mail Addresses

While it is possible that you accidentally deleted all of your email contacts, let’s hope that this isn’t the case because other possibilities do exist. One or more of the following reasons could account for your problem with the email contact information going missing from your address book.

• Have you signed into your AOL web mail account? The contact addresses will not show until you have signed in so make sure that you have covered that aspect first.
• In the past, there have been times when a system-wide failure at AOL led to multiple individuals not being able to see their contact information. Once the failure is rectified, the addresses should reappear.
• Failure to update your browser or your AOL account when a new update comes out could lead to this problem. The solution is to obtain the updates.

I have downloaded and uninstalled AOL Computer Checkup 5 times. When reach launch, press and no action. The icon doesn’t react, even when right-clicked to show open - no action. I am using dialup.

Going with the assumption that your computer meets all of the system requirements, we’ll need to check elsewhere for a solution to this AOL error. I am hopeful that it is something simple that will provide a quick fix for you.

Troubleshooting AOL Computer Check-Up: Zip File

Perhaps the most common reason for the failure of this program to launch when double clicked is that fact that the file is not an .exe file, but rather, it is a .zip file. If this is the case with your AOL Computer Check-Up file, then it would explain why it will not install for you. Only the .exe version of this application can be opened by double clicking on it.

The .zip file needs special software in order for it to open and install on your computer. Zip files are compressed since they contain more than one file and so you need to have something known as an archiver program installed on your computer to open it. Some of the more common archiver programs include: WinZip, WinRAR, Rarlab, BitZipper, RarMonkey, and PowerZip. These types of programs open zipped files quite easily. Hopefully, this is the fix that you need. If not, continue to the next suggestion.

Troubleshooting AOL Computer Check-Up: Startup Programs

Since you are using dialup, you might be experiencing the problem because your computer does not have enough resources to install the AOL Computer Check-Up program. Dialup is a lot slower than high speed Internet and so, it will take a bit longer for the installation to take place. Temporarily disable any nonessential startup applications using your System Configuration Utility and try again to install the program.

Troubleshooting AOL Computer Check-Up: Uninstall All Old Versions

Look through the Add/Remove utility to make sure that you have successfully uninstalled all versions of the AOL Computer Check-Up program. Additionally, remember that you must restart your computer after having successfully completed the uninstallation before trying to install the program.

Troubleshooting AOL Computer Check-Up: Run Scandisk

If you are still having trouble, run scandisk and defrag your computer using instructions that are designed for your operating system. It is possible that errors exist with your hard drive and running these utilities could resolve the problem for you.

Troubleshooting AOL Computer Check-Up: Firewall

If you have gotten to this point without a solution, then it is possible that your firewall is blocking the download. Check the settings and temporarily reduce them to allow the download and installation process to occur.
