I had to do the same in 9.1, I remember. Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302 Have you visited http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org yet? Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Not only will it not print/send links/pages now it won't popup with enter the master password when I'm logging into a page. Trying to see if my passwords are still there and the damm thing crashes. Any suggestions other than saving my bookmarks, password file and any other important looking files, removing and reinstalling? Chris Chris - I advised you to reinstall Mozilla. I forgot to say that you should first rename your .mozilla hidden directory (under your /home). When you reinstall you can then move across the bookmarks and anything else you need - but only the things you need, as the problem could be in that folder. Did anyone tell you to try moving/renaming that directory and launching moz again? That creates a replacement directory. If the problem is in your personal config files that are stored there you will have a running program again. Sorry if this seems disjointed, but I'm just catching up on a backlog of mail Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302 Have you visited http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org yet?
