I need to download it for someone's laptop. All I can find it the 500K download which then tries to install AOL.

Youve got to be kidding, you come to an puter website and ask about the anticrist of puters?

Many of us have to fix computers, for family or for $$, for people who require AOL's handholding and wouldn't think of giving it up, despite it being so awful, bloated, buggy and overpriced. I'm guessing he has no choice, I know I've been in that situation :p

You can check some local stores for a CD maybe? Some places hvae them on the counter, for free of course. Alternatively ask your friends, anyone on their mailing list has tons of the CDs. Most/all are probably in the garbage, but maybe you'll get lucky & find one who needed a drink coaster :)

Add to that Office Depot, Best Buy, Circuit City, CompUSA - AOL CD's with full AOL 9.0 install are free all over the place. They also come inthe mail - I must have several around the house - always have one in my toolkit for exactly the reason you stated - a client who uses it.

Once you execute the setup the full version is downloaded to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\AOL Downloads

I had some (like 40) CDs on my wall before I moved. But I guess that doesn't help you out much, huh.... Walleyworld it is.

Thats what virtual PC's are for my friend. VMware is always a good investment, always. :)

No, I was merely providing an answer to the initial question. Just because you download it doesn't mean you have to install it. :)
