FAQs:
Methodus 3:
Q: Nothing happens when I try to
install Methodus 3 by double clicking on the installation file.
A: You have to download Methodus again... except
in Internet Explorer as opposed to AOL. AOL has had some issues where downloads
off of the internet would become corrupt. Download Methodus from Internet
Explorer and it will run correctly.
Q: My bots don't work in AOL!
A: You have an older revision of AOL. Just go to
www.aol.com and download the newest version of AOL.
Q: Nothing seems to be working from the Chat or IMz menus
of Methodus 3.
A: You never set your AOL vs. AIM mode settings.
Go to Methodus 3, and click on the Main menu. Scroll down to Options and then
go into that. Then in the Options window, go to the compatibility tab and set
all of the compatibility settings you want.
Q: I tried running Methodus, but all it did was keep
flashing the loading screen and it never loaded!
A: You installed it to your D:\ drive. Install it
to C:\ drive to avoid this problem.
Q: What happened to the bots and the mail features?
A: It's all there. The bots are in the Chat menu
and the Mail features are in the Other menu.
Q: Is this program a virus?
A: No.
Q: Is this program illegal?
A: No.
Q: Is this free or does it cost money?
A: This program is what you call shareware. You can use it free for 15 days to
test it out. This is considered the evaluation period. After these 15 days of
evaluating the program, Methodus will ask you to register. Registering costs
$9.95 and takes less than a minute. After doing this, Methodus will be
registered forever and you can use it for as long as you want without having to
pay ever again.
Q: How can I get those wavy, faded colors?
A: Get Methodus 3 by downloading it from the
download page. Then run it and look in the menus for "Color Fader". You should
find it everywhere.

doesn't work?

Online 6.0\download.

reinstall Methodus 3, and Crapster will work fine. You won't get that error
anymore.
