Don't have GetRight enabled. I did get an answer from Netscape and on
the third try, they had me remove three keys from my registry, all
NETSCAPE keys. Once I did that, all is in order again. I am DEFINATELY
keeping that help item. <G>. I don't know what was wrong with those but
somehow they were keeping the Browser from connecting on a URL.
I appreciate the info and tips. I did those before and more including
installing another version of Netscape and reinstalling Windows. Was
almost to the point of firing up Cleansweep and REALLY removing Netscape
including the mail, etc. Thank heavens that they came through with that
fix before I went through all the work of removing and restoring the
mail..
Thanks again.
