tig you won't knock out your pc following any of those instructions. not even close. and besides, compared to what you've got now (did you say netscape was 'down and out for the count'?), things can only get better. <g3> i suggest you try these two first... "delete NETSCAPE.HST and the CACHE directory", per the instructions i posted. this has corrected many netscape probs in the past. the next step, if the above doesn't get it, is .... "Rebuild the NetScape REGISTRY. Back up all USERS directories (folders). Close NetScape. Rename NSREG.DAT to NSREG.BAK in c:\windows, then restart NetScape. It will prompt for a new Profile. Give it the exact name of your old Profile and it should recognize it." this is the fix that i have had the most success with, but i usually do it after having tried the first one. remember the initial instruction, tig.... "Close NetScape". plus if you back up the netscape users folder, you can plug everything back in if there are any probs. you'll be fine. but netscape may not be! <g> that's why i'm using ie5.5 right now. :) mark
