Sadly Talkback software has never worked since the day it was added to "Communicator" Builds "ON THE Mac PLATFORM". The software company (FulCircle) that provided the software. Some of the components have a Major conflict with all Mac systems up to and including 9.2.1. Each time I have downloaded a new version of Moz or N6 that has Talkback included I always check the extensions and other system files included. They are identical versions that haven't changed in years. For years on the Netscape newsgroups be it for Communicator or netscape 6 for Mac, the Netscape Champions program , the number one response when you get a system freeze while using Communicator or N6 is to check to see if Talkback is turned on. If so to turn off. In communicator its suggested to remove the Talkback componet folder from Communicator applications folder, and to remove any Takback or fullcircle items from the system folder. You'd think that after several years of complaints that Netscape could get across to the FullCircle people that they have some type of componet problem. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Phillip M.
