Solutions to AOL Sign-in Problems

There are three problems that we have identified and have easy solutions.

 

Problem 1: “This area cannot be accessed by your account….”

 

Solution 1: This message is usually caused because you have not filled out the airline security profile on AOL.  You need to do this only once.  You must do this using AOL software such as AOL 9.0 or above.  Sign-in then go to keyword "UALCREW".  Click on the Unimatic/Apollo link.  You will be directed to the security profile.

 

Problem 2: “Action Cancelled…”  or you see only see a “0” in the upper corner of the window.

Solution 2: A firewall or Internet Security program is blocking access.  You need to turn it off or tell it to allow access to all ports by our program.

 

Problem 3:  Signing out of Screen Name Service.  Please wait...  “        

Solution 3: Update to our version 10.01 or higher.  If that does not work,

 Open your internet browser,   click on "Tools" and "Internet Options".  On the general tab, 

 

Click on "Delete File" and check the "include off-line content" box and click OK.

Click on "Delete cookies" button.

Click on "OK"

 

Run Time Error 339" Component TKUTS.DLL not correctly registered, file is missing or invalid.  Also Runtime Error 429 – Active X cannot load.

This is usually caused because you don't have the proper Java VM.   Install the Java VM described here.  Go to our website,  www.goual.com.  Click on "Java Update". As with any download from the web,  you can choose to open or download the file. We suggest you open the file.  If you choose to download it,  you will need to run it.  The file name is JAVA.EXE and it is 5MB in size. After Java VM is installed,  let the system reboot.

 

My new security code does not work.

Make sure you are running the new program from the desktop icon that says either Pilot Add-On (AOL) or FA Add-On (AOL) or Easy Apollo (AOL). The code will not work in the 32bit program. Also make sure your code is fourteen letters and numbers. Make sure you enter the number zero and not the letter "O" if you have one in your security code.

 

The connection screen says “Connecting” but it never does.

Some firewall settings can prevent the new connection from working.   Sometimes you do not have to turn off your firewall, but rather, set it to allow access to the new connection.  If you cannot find the correct settings,  turn off your firewall.  See discussion on firewalls below.

 

The program appears to log me in, but I have nothing but a black screen and a cursor jumping around..

You need to reset your screen colors. Start the program, click on "Settings" - "Terminal" - "Screen Colors". Choose blue for the background and white for the foreground. Save.

 

 

AOL Connection and Firewalls

Though the new connection to Unimatic/Apollo is faster and more reliable than the netlet, it is more sensitive to certain firewalls and some pop-up blockers.   Here are some solutions we have found.

 

Note:  We are not firewall experts and cannot assist you in the details listed below.  Firewall technology and setup is not for the everyday user.  If you need help,  contact the firewall manufacturer.

 

If you have broadband, you need some sort of firewall since you are always connected to the internet.  If you have a router such as Linksys, it generally comes with a built in hardware firewall.  These are very effective and normally do not require additional software firewalls.  Use of this kind of firewall is much less likely to cause problems with the new connection than software firewalls like Zone Alarm and Norton Internet Security.

 

Windows XP has a firewall that you can activate in the properties dialog of your network connections.  This is also effective for most single user systems and does not cause problems with the new connection.

 

If you use Zone Alarm, you may have to list our program in “Program Control” tab as a “trusted program”.  Check all four boxes to allow it access to all ports and act as a server.

If you use add-blocking in Norton Internet Security, on the main NIS panel click on Ad Blocking then Configure. Click on Advanced.  Click on Add Site.  Type in "airline.compuserve.com" without the quotes.  Click on OK.  Now click on the new entry "airline.compuserve.com” on the left.  Under User Settings on the right, uncheck Use Ad Blocking settings under Pop-Up ads and check permit.  Click ok and ok and restart computer.

Most firewall programs can be set to allow access to specific IP Addresses and DNS names.  The IP addresses for the new connection are subject to change,  but the DNS names stay the same.  The DNS names for the MultiBridge servers are united-mb1.airline.compuserve.com, united-mb2.airline.compuserve.com, and united-mb3.airline.compuserve.com.

 

If your firewall allows you to enter a trusted port,  the new connection uses port 2030.
