Problems using AOL/AIM 6.1

Question
Hi, thanks for your time! I was just wondering about a problem I'm having with AIM, well I'm trying to download AIM 6.1, but whenever I go to the website and click in "install now!", it installs, but it keeps reinstalling 6 instead of 6.1. Is it because I only have windows professional 2000? Do i need XP?

Answer
