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: 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.
