AOL Users - Special Instructions

Why special instructions?
Put simply, AOL has always existed as a kind of 'special case' in terms of Internet access, doing things its own way and not adhering to the standards set by everyone else.

So what?
If you try to load our shopping basket via the web browser supplied with your AOL software, the system will not work - it's a problem with the AOL setup, not the e-commerce software.

OK, What should I do?
It's simple - you can use the other browser software which came with your computer. (you may find it helpful to print out this page to refer to):

  1. Connect to the Internet via your AOL software as normal (you are already if you're reading this!)
  2. While you're connected, go to the Windows Start menu (click on the button in the bottom left of your screen.)
  3. Select the Programs folder and then find and select the item marked Internet Explorer or Microsoft Internet Explorer. This will launch a non-AOL web browser.
  4. Enter this address of the web site - in the address bar of your browser (the smart move is to copy and paste it from here): http://www.theshockofyourlife.com/html/pages/thebook_buy.htm
    Alternatively, browse via 'the book' button intil you want to buy.
  5. Click on the 'Add to Basket' button and follow the instructions on screen. You'll now be able to use the shopping cart facility just like everyone else.
