What are you trying to download. . . from where. . .

AOL, in the past, had a download manager that was installed on your system if you tried AOL at one time. It is possible that once you try to download a file it triggers the AOL download manager.
If you are on a PC, and you DON'T use AOL (read that part TWICE.... this is assuming you don't use AOL in any shape or form).... you can go to add/remove programs. Look for anything with AOL in the title and click remove. Do a reboot and try again.
All of that is free advice. None is warranted.
Hope you solve the problem.
yep moonshine !! i had the same a while back
aol fills your pc full of crap that thakes ages to get rid of.
i agree with you totally but i DONT garentee it will sort it either.
but i havent found a single thing on this site that wont download correctly...
it is a safe site and is trusted...
you need to tell us what file you are trying to download.

I forgot... all that adivce was assuming you had a PC... I assumed because if you had a MAC there wouldn't be a problem to begin with. hehehe :lmao:
Good luck.
The other thing is that i think we all presumed is that sully has a vector program......
mabye he hasnt, so the pc asked him if it wanted to find an appropriate program to open the file?????????????
just a thought...

I was trying to download some of the files from the library, (i.e.scorpion) I wanted to save strait to a disk, then to my documents and both sent me straight to aol. I will try to remove any more files from aol and see if that helps. Thanks for the advice:hail:
