try Netscape 6.2.. which I see you haven't because it aint as slow as 6.1.. more fixes too.. its cross platform, 4.72 is not really. It uses its own rendering engine to create what you see on your screen as an app. It doesn't use OS/GUI based functions for displaying itself.. so there is one reason 6.x is slower.. now 6.2 is much faster than 6.1 because there have been performance fixes made since 6.1.. try it out.
and why do you add an & to a command line? try your different address books.. you have to have a cvs file to import from, = text = CVS in Mozilla . and after the import is finished click on the cancel button, then check your different addressbook files.. in Address book. They should be there. -dman84 Scott S. Jones D.C. wrote: > I have several questions. I recently installed Netscape 6.1 after > downloading it from netscape's site.
