    Please allow the installer to work on full Admin accounts. Trying to test it in CrossOver for Linux but the installer wont work due to that.

    Installing the AOL Desktop Gold software as an Admin can have some adverse effects due to the installation location being different for Admin than a normal user. We recommended that you install the software as the same level user that will be launching the software each time.

  4. Open search result in new tab

    New popup for search result (lower right of search window) is neither useful nor convenient. Too small to read well and a nuisance to resize. Please open search result in a new tab. If you simply MUST retain the unwanted popup please give user an option in Settings to suppress popup and open selected result in a new tab.

    Please exit AOL Gold and open it again. After that refresh the mailbox.
