Why can't you just use the web based one, AIM Express?

yes, theres a way around it, but you have to have the administrators password. 😛

Sounds like you're on a limited XP account... and that's one purpose of these. To limit what gets installed onto machines. 🙂

Word. You're pretty much SOL unless you can get access to the administrator's account to install AIM.

Yep.

You can't do a remote desktop connection to your home computer?

You may also be blocked by a firewall.

Funny that Java is blocked on your account.... you probably could get that fixed.... as for installing the AIM client, good luck convincing the Admin

yeah
try to get access to his...wait

ask the admin if he'lll et you install it. if hes much of an admin he'll notice when you put it on and remove/block it anyway

if he doesnt care he may just let you install it and not bother you
