Henri haven't set that up yet. the above was only mention as trouble and a possible solution that's been shot down. I am sure it will work. But as you must admit that's a work around. Previous versions of Netscape say Netscape Navigator 3 do not cause problems. Netscape 6 is a total rewrite. as Communicator was a Total rewrite from Communicator. I will try it. I've already used a temporary workaround myself of using Stuffit to compress the Netscape 6 Application. I'll have to study diskcopy to figure how to setup your method. > > > Some of the people here recently have actually had me to try certain > > things.

Yes I checked, there is only Default and Quicktime 5.0.2 plugins in Mozilla and Netscape 6 Plugins. AOL Plugins , IE Plugins folders, and only 5.0.2 in the Internet plugins folder in the system Folder. > > I still have the flashing, though its on and off like a blinking light > > rather than a fast strobe light. > > When a page is using plug-in content, the redraws flicker on Mac OS > 8.5...9.2.1.

If that's the case then its useless for me even to test Mozilla or Netscape 6. On the groups I mentioned Remember folks there will be "many" people that will not be going to OS X for a longgg time. either they don't have a fast enough machine or don't have the drive space to install it nor the RAM to use it. My only hold back is getting another drive to put it on. Although I have a 23 gb Drive. I don't wish to risk my current Drives Applications, and files with the install of OS X. > > > There is a window media Player for AVI files but there is no work on > > the AVI Codecs for years on the Mac Platform. > > Actually, some work has been done on that recently for Mac OS X. Again, There are many who will not be going to OS-X for various reasons I new company now owns the intel Indeo Codecs. The most recent indeo Codec for AVI of Mac is version 5 published in 99. > > -- > Henri Sivonen > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://www.hut.fi/u/hsivonen/ -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Phillip M.
