SYMPTOMS
You cannot use schedules to update subscriptions when America Online is your Internet service provider (ISP).



CAUSE
To use schedules for subscription updates, you must use Microsoft Dial-Up Networking as your dialer to establish a connection to your ISP. America Online uses a proprietary dialer.



RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, manually update your subscriptions. To do so, follow these steps:
 * 1) Connect to America Online.
 * 2) In Internet Explorer, click Update All Subscriptions on the Favorites menu.

NOTE: If you do not want to update all of your subscriptions, click Manage Subscriptions on the Favorites menu, right-click the subscription you want to update, and then click Update Now.
