I'm running 4.79 as my primary, (4.75 on some of my other workstations because I haven't bothered to update them.) but also have 6 and 7 installed on my primary Mac as a comparison test. I don't have any conflict (preference) problems with them. I use different User folders for each, which may be the reason. (If you are having conflicts, try setting up a new User folder with a slightly different name for each. (I added NS6 to my User folder name for 6 and NS7 for 7.) I also do not keep my User folders in the OS preferences. I keep them on a drive that is dedicated to internet only software, which keeps fragmentation of my OS drive to a minimum. I noticed that 6 will remember its User folder and open directly through it, while 7 will ask me to select a User folder each time it starts. This may be a setting problem but I haven't had the time to really play with it yet. It just means an extra click on start up, as it highlights the correct folder.
7 seems to have better on screen video opening capabilities than the others. (Possibly due to newer .mpg plug ins?) I don't like the fact that neither 6 nor 7 see frames properly. I get the menu bar positioned to the left of screen in its proper position on my own website. The rest of the screen to the right, which contains the window accessed by the menu bar, remains blank. I've had no problems with anyone viewing my site with any earlier version of NS nor I.E. since I put it up many years ago. It uses older and very simple frame programing for the reason that I wanted anyone to be able to open it quickly. (I'd appreciate it if someone would look at my site using 6 or 7 and see if they have the same problem. http://dallenmarket.bizhosting.com ) I'd hate to have to redo my (and many of my customers') sites because NS decided it was obsolete technology!
