Cytokine1, * OT browser * I had Navigator 3.0 and lately it crashed about once every 1-2 hours of use. It may have become corrupted. So I downloaded Navigator 4 and installed it (very easy), only to discover it doesn't have e-mail. Luckily my V3 Navigator still worked, so I was able to do e-mail by switching between browsers. Then I tried to upgrade Navigator 4 to Communicator 4.04 (which has e-mail). To do that on the Netscape site, you have to register and they e-mail you a certificate. This must be opened in V4 (which had no e-mail). So don't go that route. I ended up downloading Communicator 4.04 (10+MB) and installing it. Very easy. Works like a charm. (I still have V3). The address book and bookmark files transferred to Communicator4 automatically. But I'd back them up anyway. Have used Communicator 3 days (about 15 hours) without crash. So, you keep your old browser - therefore there is not much risk. Your results may vary. <vbg> Communicator has some nice features: fonts, bold and italic in e-mail, a web page composer built in and others. I wouldn't go back to V3 (even if it hadn't crashed). GM
