I haven't had any troubles (except the long download) in installing Netscape 6.2. I still avoid IE. My computer at my house does lock up several times a week, but it does not appear to be related to any internet program.
I have another problem. I keep getting messages that my uncle in Michigan is sending to my cousin in Mass. She also gets them, but we can't figure how they also get sent to me. He can't find any problem with the way they are addressed. He has removed my address from his address book to see if that fixes the problem. (Theses are random virus-generated messages, since he is sending them out. We just can't figure out how my address gets added to them.) Any ideas? -Ralph -------------- Jonathan Falk wrote: > Cynthia- > > Thanks for the warning. I had not heard of IE 6 upgrade problems before > this.
