Yes it did - I've *already* told you that SeaMonkey will work with Win2K: <quote> It will work just fine in Win2K & uses much of the same browser code that FireFox 3.x uses. However, calendaring addons (Lightning) work is still in progress, so you'll be without that for awhile yet. </quote> I run Win2K, both as dual-boot and in VirtualBox and run Both SeaMonkey 1.1.16 and 2.0b1pre. The dual-boot is an 800Mhz/384Mb laptop. I also have 1.1.16 running on a 350Mhz/256Mb Win2K laptop. I've also told you that SeaMonkey 1.1.16 or 2.0b1pre will run in parallel with your existing outdated and unsupported version of Mozilla 1.7.3. So, load it up and give it a try. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
