Reloading AOL from pc to laptop - help please

I had a pc with wireless AOL broadband. I've now bought a laptop and have been accessing my email by just logging onto the AOL email page. I'd like to load AOL onto my laptop now (I suppose I do need to do this?) but when I tried to download it from the AOL site nothing happened.

I had the original broadband loading disk from AOL, but when I go into that it wants to take me through setting up the modem and all the other setup tasks which are already working fine. Do I have to do that ? Can anyone give me advice as to what to do ? Any help would be much apprecited as I'm very confused. Many thanks.

    If you replace your modem with a modem/router, you'll never need that CD ever again...
