There's supposed to be a splash image upon startup.

This is my own splash screen if a splash screen is still needed. However, here is a batch file I made to open your AOL emulator with the splash screen in the beginning:

cd c:\Program Files\AOL C# 4.0 ::Location to start. start AOLSpl.png :: Shows the splash. timeout /T 5 :: Shows splash for 5 seconds and closes. taskkill/im dllhost.exe :: Ends the program that shows the splash screen. start aol.exe & exit :: Opens up the AOL emulator and command prompt exits.

Once this is typed in notepad, saved as a batch file and opened the splash screen will show before the program opens. Hope this helps.

Update to the batch file:

cd c:\Program Files\AOL C# 4.0 ::Location to start. start AOLSpl.png :: Shows the splash. timeout /T 5 :: Shows splash for 5 seconds and closes. taskkill/im dllhost.exe :: Ends the program that shows the splash screen This will only work with Windows 7. taskkill /f /im Microsoft.Photos.exe /t :: This is how the splash screen will disappear in Windows 10. start aol.exe & exit :: Opens up the AOL emulator and command prompt exits.
