I remember there is a dialog that came up that I hit cancel two times.. It had done alright when it converted my nc4.75 mail but then I backed up my new netscape 6.1 profile at the time .. and then I deleted nc4.75 and formatted the drive.. I then only installed ns 6.1 again.. and I had my mail.. there.. it didn't bother with nc4.75, because it somehow knows about the registry.dat file settings.. upon activation I clicked cancel, then when the dialog comes up, click cancel on that.. that should close part of the activate upon startup. Its been some time since I've done this, it asks if you wanna create account using an AIM or something else userID, and you can select either option and create a new one, used for buddyAIM and then I think it may create a webmail login for this, I dont know for sure the order or the correct facts on this, but I remember parts of these things.. they are all part of the activation processes. I think if you haven't converted a NC 4.7x profile yet.. wait till the new netscape release hits.. it should be better at profile conversion. -dman84
