Okay Why In The Hell Does This Happen

".art" is an AOL-only image compressed file. The easiest way aroung it is to use another browser, be it I.E. or Netscape. You can start AOL and connect, then just minimize the entire application, and open your other browser. It's all the same thing. You just want to use the AOL application for internet access, not browsing.
To turn off AOL's compression, click "Settings" (or "My AOL" in earlier versions) in the menu bar, then select "Preferences." Click "WWW." Select the "Web Graphics" tab. Select "Never Compress Graphics" (or uncheck "Use Compressed Graphics" in earlier versions).
You should also clear your temporary internet files, so that recently visited pages do not use cached .art files when loading. To do this, click "My AOL" or "Settings" in the menu bar, then select "Preferences." Click "WWW." On the "General" tab, under "Temporary Internet Files," click "Delete Files." Check "Delete All Offline Content" (varies in earlier versions). Click "OK."
