I've seen that a few times as well.

However, when it happened, it was on a 486 so I got a clear shot of what it said.

Updating Netscape Registry

It happens rarely, and I can't pinpoint exactly why, but I've seen no adverse effects of it.

hi david

"Anyone have any idea what happened?"

yes. now i do. <g3>

this from netscape newsgroup....

"Communicator updates _IT's_ registry (Not Windows Registry) every 60 days. The Communicator registry is located in the /windows/ directory and the filename is NSREG.DAT .. There is NO interaction/update with the Windows registry whatsoever."

interestingly, i've recently taken to rebuilding the netscape registry (not as complicated as it sounds...i deleted the nsreg.dat file) in order to fix a recurring invalid page fault prob.

hope this helps

:)
