Patti,
It sounds as if you haven't removed the version of Netscape that came
with the ML distribution. You need to do an rpm -e netscape, from a
console window, as root. Then, you need to point your launcher to the
file /opt/netscape/netscape. That should do it. I had the same thing
happen with my distribution.
