My AOL >> Preferences >> WWW >>> Web Graphics tab >> Uncheck "Use Compressed graphics" box.

In order to speed up download times, AOL converts all images to its ART format, originally designed by Johnson-Grace.
ART will display faster, but will also degrade image quality. We recommend changing your AOL preferences to use
"uncompressed" graphics which should allow you to view website graphics in their true form. Note that you will have to clear
your cache before seeing the change on pages you've already been to. If you are using an AOL version of either Internet
Explorer or Netscape the above directions will work for you too.

now that you're ready ... right this way
