assistant: I had all three of them working together flawlessly (using the November
NS, no less).  I forget why, but I reinstalled OS/2, and I'm unable to get
ny
of them working properly now. :(
    Java 1.1.4 still doesn't display the icons in the browser install.  I had
to do a CID install, which worked fine last time.. but this time it didn't
seem to.  Only thing different was last time I installed the examples and
his
time I didn't.  Someone said I need to modify my NETSCAPE.PKG file, but I
dunno what to change. :)
    So I installed it via CID.
    ICQ starts up, tries connecting, and stops.  If I try it again, it
oesn't
even flicker "connecting".  Before I was getting an error message that I now
can't reproduce.
    Netscape/nov appeared to install properly.  It made the same changes it
did before to my config.sys.  When I go the system information applet
(http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Heights/9885/osapplet.html), it says
I'm on v1.14.  But after that it didn't exit properly and now it locks up
hen
I try loading it.  GO shows NETSCAPE listed there, but I can't kill it.  CAD
commander isn't able to kill it either.
    I'm not sure what the problem is.
    Any ideas? :)

That beats me unless the software is not setup properly, I get the same

give is check your configuration, to make sure you did not miss something

    I have this same symptom at some sites also, although I'm still able to
function. Netscape just sets in the middle of my desktop and captures images
that appear within it's borders, like the task window. Although it does
eload
and operate again after I shut down and reboot. I didn't even make it onto
the information applet page. Locked up on the connect and flaked out. If you

In this particular case, just turn off Java when you goto whatever page it
was that crashed it as all but the most recent versions of Netscape have been
having problems with Java sites (Java site programmers tend to break rules to

Anyone else experience this? I'm not sure if its the connection or if the
program is locking up that causes the droped carrier.
I'd think if it were the connection some of my users would be complaining and
I have watched and all is working as expected.
