You should contact AOL tech support to determine how to create additional

I already have the user accounts created, but noone can use aol unless the
admin is logged on.

Create the other accounts and log in as them.
For the most part - if the programs are modern/updated/written correctly and
installed in such a way that they created shortcuts in the All User's
profile as opposed to only your profile -- then they should see a smilar
desktop, similar start menu and be able to run the applications in most
cases.

Thank you. Evidently, something is wrong, because when I try to open aol
under another name, aol is invalid.

Assuming you mean the full AOL package and not something like AOL Instant
Messenger - have you downloaded/installed the latest version *and* have you
looked on AOL's support web pages/contacted AOL for support?

There is a shortcut in the user account but it says application error.
