Mohan,

My pleasure. I have current version of Fox Plus installed on my computer. I also have current version of Netscape Communicator 4.51. And I have I.E. 4.0, I believe, which I don't use except perhaps with AOL, which is junk, imho.

I use Netscape Communicator for browsing, usually having multiple browser windows open throughout the day. I also have Fidelity Fox Plus running most of the day if I am doing trading in my Fidelity accounts. I also run CyBerTrader if I am doing pure daytrades.

None of these cause any problems. Fox Plus works okay. I believe you might need IE 4.0 if you do some stuff in Fox beyond basic trading, like updating or using their library or stuff like that, which I rarely rarely ever do. I just use it for basic trading, entering orders and getting confirmations. I do nothing else with Fox.

I do believe, however, that I saw somewhere in the Fox help area that there's a way to change your ini file or something that will let Fox point to another browser other than IE, which may be something you could look into. I haven't even had to do that, though. Everything just seems to work okay as is, so I avoid changing anything.

Good luck,

Bill
