While installing and running it, I was running "mysql". I tried killing mysql, then running mozilla (not reinstalling), and it ran fine. I haven't tried restarting mysql yet. -- === David M.

Copy the plugins folder to a temporary location, then delete your profile folder and all mozilla folders and \windows\mozreg.dat and that should give you a clean start. Re-install and then copy your plugins folder back. -- -- -- Randy Slemko [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sorry, Remember to grab your plugins before you uninstall. Adam David M. Karr wrote: > I regularly download and install the latest "nightly" mozilla on both my home > and office win2k systems.

Re: Past 2 weeks: Home win2k: latest bombs at start; Office win2k: latest runs
The nightlies have been getting usuable again since about the 22nd so this really shouldn't be happening. It's kind of a pain but have you deleted your profile recently and uninstalled mozilla? That generally will get you back on the straight and narrow. Adam adam in the domain devtty.net David M.
