Here we go again... * Did you let the the Netscape 6.2 installer install the Flash plug-in? * Do you have a file called Shockwave Flash NP-PPC in the Netscape 6.2 / Mozilla plug-ins folder? * Do you have a reasonably recent version of QuickTime? * Have you verified (in the QuickTime Setting control panel) that the QuickTime Plugin has been configured to handle QuickTime movies? * Which version of Mac OS are you running? Does it have a folder called "Internet Plug-Ins" in the System Folder? Does that folder contain the files called "QuickTime Plugin" and QuickTimePlugin.class? * If you don't have the Internet Plug-Ins folder, have you put the QuickTime Plugin manually in the Netscape 6.2 / Mozilla plug-ins folder? * Do you have conflicting versions of the plug-in in the system Internet Plug-Ins folder and the Netscape 6.2 / Mozilla plug-ins folder? * Have you installed an outdated and redundant copy of Internet Config? All the versions of Mac OS that Mozilla runs on come with the functionality of Internet Config contained in the system components. * There is a file called "Internet Preferences" in the Preferences folder inside System Folder.

A Web browser isn't an extension of an email app. A Web browser is one app. An email reader is another. (Sadly, in the case of Mozilla and Communicator, they both have been forced in the same process.) -- Henri Sivonen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clinet.fi/~henris/
