>> Yeah. The guys at NetScape feel fairly comfortable with the fact that it's not their problem, since I'm up and running with _their_ product. I've posted this same message on the Microsoft, Adobe, and Avid forums, just in case someone else is running into similar problems. << <sigh> i hate this %$#@. no one wants to be accountable. all apps work, except with you install netscape and netscape says it isn't their problem. dandy. >> I don't think it's really a problem with ANY of these products, (and though I hate to admit it, probabally not even a problem with NetScape). I think the real trouble happened when installing the new W32s1.25a, and suspect I need a new Media Player or some other new little piece of Voodoo code. << have any other apps caused this problem too? (other accessories apps like sound recorder, write and others?) also, any other windows apps have problems once install happens? thing is, we get a lot of problems just because of the various support libraries some programs require. it may be possible that netscape is depending on certain key support files which is has installed over other support files needed by other applications. >> I'm simply unaware of what exactly I seem to be missing. I have identified the new *crash feature* with any program that employs media player, but somehow that hasn't made me fee any better. :p Thanks for your help, any bright ideas would be appreciated. << well, i'll say one thing right off… no web browser is worth having 4 applications down at a time. <gggg> also, if 4 apps work before install and one app causes them all to crash… i think its pretty obvious who's problem it is. regardless of what they say. <g> few things to try… can Netscape provide you with a list of all files they are installing, as well as all modifications made to existing files including system files? -dave
