Open a proper browser.   AOL's browser SUCKS.   If you don't already have MS 
Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator or whatever, download it and install 
it.   Then, go online as usual, but instead of typing the address in AOL's 
browser window, launch the proper stand-alone program and watch YouTube.

Recognize that you can't use YouTube properly if you're still on dial-up.   
Well, you can, but it's painful.   When you first load the video, it will play 
in fits and spurts as it SLOWLY loads.   A four-minute video might take a half 
hour or more to load.   But once it's fully loaded, you can just replay it 
and it will play normally.   When I was still on dial-up, I would load a YouTube 
video and walk away and do something else for a half hour, then come back and 
enjoy it.   I finally crawled out of the primordial ooze and got cable 
internet a few weeks ago and it is SO worth it!!!
