How come my AOL signup disk doesn't work?

OK, so I've finally decided to jump on the "World Wide Web" with AOL! Yay me! I got an old 3.5" floppy of theirs that I found at a Goodwill and I popped it in, but it's not accepting my registration information. I really want to talk to other AOL users on People Connection, because that's a lot of fun! 10 points for the best answer!!!111one

    I had the same problem! It was funny how I got it working. I was chasing a ghost with a vacuum cleaner, and The ghost grabbed the floppy and dropped it in the fish tank. But when I put the floppy in my computer It worked! And it accepted my registration! BTW I use windows 7.

    First, the floppy versions of AOL are totally out of date. They will not normally work at all on any current operating system. And you need a current system to use the service. This disk may also have been used to create a dial up connection and all Internet traffic now is designed for broadband. For this you need to subscribe to an ISP in your area and fit the correct equipment for it.

    The information may be out of date or the version of you're computer is not compatible.

    Have a nice day!
