Okay last night I was gettin on aol instant messanger when this message popped up asking if I wanna update to the latest version. So I went ahead and clicked yes, and right when it was updating a message on my computer came up saying my laptop is gonna shut down in 45 secs. DAMN! I thought i'll let aol try and finish updating but stupid me--the computer shut down. So now when I tried to get on aol it keeps saying: VCDGD11 cannot be found, try re-installing it. I tried that and it still won't work and I don't know what to do!! Can anyone help me out?

I don't have AOL, so I don't know the first thing about it, but did you un-install the old version before downloading the new one? If not, try that, and it might work. Other than that, I can't help, sorry.

^Hey thanks for replying!
But yep, I did try uninstallin it and it wouldn't let me for some reason. It kept saying there was an error. So I re-downloaded it, but it still wouldn't work. This was all on my laptop.
I got on the computer and installed aol instant messanger and it worked on the computer. But I want the aol on my laptop cause I'll be the only one who uses it plus the computer is old I can't get the same fonts and stuff.

You don't need AIM. You can use something called AIM Express and access everything that way, and you can always install another program. One good download is Trillian, with that you can access AIM, ICQ, YIM, MSN, and mIRC. |

But does AIM express still allow you to have a profile and make your own away messages? The other thing is that all of my friends sn's have been erased and I don't remember most of them, also I can't remember my password and stupid AOL said it would email it to me and I never received an email from them, so that would mean a new sn but then my friends wouldn't know if I were online b/c of the sn change. Man I shoulda never tried to update! DO NOT UPDATE! lololll. Well actually you all can, my laptop--which is only a year old-- is screwed up! damn you laptop! lol
ohh man plus I just used this disk which restores everything on the laptop back to the way it was when we first bought it and aol still didn't work. I don't know!
^^Thank you for the suggestions, I will try them out.  Though I want all my away messages I created and profile back!
I just remembered why I didn't receive an email reminding me what my password it--I think I had made up an email, b/c before it said I had the maximum amount of sn's for my email address. (I only had 2 sn's) either that or I used my friends email. I can't remember...

I guess there is nothing I can do. I tried to download Trillion, left my laptop for 2 hours, came back and it was still downloading and it wasn't even halfway to being close to being done downloading!

You can also download Netscape 7, it has a built-in AIM with it. I'm not fully positive about all the options it provides though. About Trillian, that's about 2.5 MB download, so it shouldn't take that long. But anyway, you may want to try Easy Message Express, it's only a 208 KB download and provides support for everything Trillian does except for mIRC. |

Thank you, thank you for all your help!! I've tried Trillion and it's okay.
I will try and download Netscape 7 and the other thing you suggested.
Man I got so frustrated with this whole thing I stored my laptop away for a couple of days ahahaha.
I though laptops were supposed to be faster and and better...but my connection keeps gettin' disconnected, like every 10 minutes.

I've got one more question. Our web browser is MSN, so is it still okay to download Netscape 7? Will it mess up my computer when I sign on?
Again thanks so much for the help.
