How do you turn on the America Online computer software program feature called TopSpeed, you ask? It was turned on earlier and now it has been turned off. You went through a large number of steps with an America Online support technician and now it has been turned off again.
You have tried removing America Online software from your computer and then removed as well as reinstalled that computer software program again. You had a walk through with an America Online support technician and are still having a problem. America Online TopSpeed is supposed to work automatically once installed.
You do not have to change any settings in order to experience the enhanced browsing that the America Online TopSpeed feature provides. The only time the America Online TopSpeed feature is turned off by default is when it is blocked by a computer software program such as a firewall, hardware firewall, or the freely available computer disk space cache is not sufficient required by that America Online TopSpeed program. The America Online TopSpeed feature works automatically once installed.
In order to learn how to turn on or turn off that America Online TopSpeed feature, you will need to know which version of the America Online computer software is installed on your computer. You can find this information by following some of these instructions given in this official America Online help article how do I determine the version of the America Online software I have?
Note:
The America Online computer software with that TopSpeed feature, is always turned on in America Online version 9.5, America Online version 9.1, and America Online version 9.0 virtual reality. It cannot be turned off or removed. Your America Online computer software program would not function properly without it.
You can check out this America Online TopSpeed feature web acceleration frequently asked questions page for full instructions on how to turn on or turn off TopSpeed web acceleration. You can click on How do I turn on and turn off TopSpeed Web acceleration in order to reveal those instructions. The America Online TopSpeed feature is an Internet hyper text markup language hyper text transfer protocol caching service.
What this means is that every time you visit a web page, pictures, text, and multimedia content will be saved onto your computer hard drive. Then, specifically, the next time you visit that same website or more specifically that uniform resource locator web page, it will possibly load faster. The images, pictures, text, multimedia content, etcetera are loaded from your computer hard drive since they are already stored.
Otherwise, the text, pictures, multimedia content, etcetera will be downloaded all over again. For example, if you were to browse the anetcomputers.com home page, the text, logo, etcetera would get stored onto your hard drive so that the next time you visit that uniform resource locator home page, it would load faster theoretically. The America Online computer software program feature called TopSpeed is actually a service that connects back to America Online's server.
This feature uses Internet protocol port four forty three 443. Since it is a computer service, if your hardware or software firewall blocks port four forty three 443, then the America Online TopSpeed feature is then disabled. America Online has deprecated and no longer uses this TopSpeed feature in their computer software program.

I have America Online version 9.6 software installed on my computer. What do I do next to turn the America Online TopSpeed feature back on?
Hello,
According to this America Online topspeed help page, the only time topspeed is turned off is if your hardware or software firewall is blocking that service. Another reason is if the America Online topspeed cache is insufficient on your computer.
