Well, it was indeed something in the .netscape directory. I moved the
old directory to another name and netscape came right up under my normal
user name and created a new .netscape directory. I was then able to get
back most of my old settings from the old directory - basically
everything except the address book. I imported the old file and all the
names came back up but none of them work. I guess I'll have to re-enter
them all manually.
Thanks for the help.
