Internet Phone

[jinglejangle]

A family member is working abroad but bought a Tesco Internet Phone for himself and one of me so that I can speak to him for free. However, when I try and load the software onto my computer using AOL it says that AOL MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THIS FILE. AOL WILL PUT IT IN A TEXT FILE. When I say yes it doesn't do anything.

I have phoned AOL about it who tried different things but nothing worked. I then phoned Tesco who said, surprise surprise, it was a problem with AOL.

2 1/2 hours later I am still no further on ! Can anyone help?

I have also disabled the firewall etc.

Found this:

To install it if you have aol, forget the cd installer, minimize AOL browser, Open up IE, in address bar type www.tescointernetphone.com/download
save to desktop
Then install.
