I've been battling a problem for 24 hours that I was blaming on the last NAV update. It dam near drove me nuts. It turns out it wasn't NAV at all. I did call them, after waiting 20 minutes they were helpful. They had no other reported problems from the 8/8 update so it was obviously something unique to my machine. They did spend about 8 minutes helping me troubleshoot establishing it was unlikely NAV but not solving my problem. He told me to try contacting Netscape and if they couldn't help he gave me an incident # and said to call back. The problem was Netscape was opening for a few seconds than closing. A few minutes after I hung up with him I finally solved the problem, the culprit was Noads. If a popup ad doesn't have a title it shows up in the "Currently open windows" pane as just "Netscape". If you add such a popup to your 'Windows targeted by Noads" pane. netscape can't open. I can't believe how many hours I wasted solving such a simple problem. I wasn't going to bother posting about it but I wouldn't want to see anyone go through what I did.
