I've backed up each file onto a CD and deleted each file. It still
isn't working. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Netscape using a
new user profiles, a new partition of my hard drive, etc. Still, I
click on the Icon I have on my desk top (or from the start menu), I
get a second of the opening logo screen, then a flash and Netscape is
closed. A funny thing I've had happen is if I got to the Unofficial
Netscape FAQ page <http://www.ufaq.org/> using MIE and click on one of
the newsgroups listed, then Netscape opens. It is unstable and often
shuts down after using it for a while, but it actually opens. I'm at
a loss at what to do next. I think I'll pass on the newest Mozilla
since I've already had this problem twice, but I really do not want to
give up on Netscape. Anyone else have any ideas.
