Exactly! if it works.........? So far I have tried downloading and installing the spell checker from, NS6.01, 6.1, 6.2 without success, and even with a fresh installs of Beonex just to make sure. I guess the icon is being wiped the first time because there is no spell check installed. But why only after the account registration? The only reason I saw it the first time was because I kept canceling the acc reg windows just to see if the various bits of the mail client worked. And if that's so, then I would assume installing the spell check before the account registration would get round that problem. It doesn't! This is not unique to Beonex, I have the same problem with mozilla installs, except I never even get the smell of an icon. Another slightly unnerving thing is after an ftp download and install of the .xpi file, the cursor retains it's clock image indefinitely as if some process is still taking place, but I can't find out what. The spell checker appears in the components directory where I would expect it to, so it may be that there is a config file somewhere that is not being updated. Whatever the answer, it is now beyond my limited knowledge to fix, unless someone can come up with other suggestions. I have better things to do with my time than keep downloading files from netscape in the hope that one 'might' work. > >So it's back to NS6.2 for the time being, and and that intensely irritating > >registration window (not exactly a stunningly attractive piece of design > work either, to add insult to injury). > > heh. You know that you don't need to register, don't you? <begin rant> Yup! I should have said activation window. I know I can just keep killing the window, but I would love to shove it where the sun don't shine. Yuck! What demented or retard mind designed it? It's like being slapped in the face with a wet fish. I know they are a commercial enterprise and the reasons for it being there, but at least do things like that with some nodding reference to good design and style. </rant over> Zoe Linux Mandrake 8.1 Kernel 2.4.13-10mdk KDE 2.2.1 -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://homepage.ntlworld.com/zeldasdragon
