Well now I am confused. After days of trying to install both Mozilla 1.6 
and Netscape 7.1 I had given up but as a last gasp I downloaded the beta 
1.7 Mozilla and blow me ... it installed without a hitch!!

I tried Netscape 7.1 again and got further than ever before in the 
install sequence with the Netscape radio pest applet installing an 
outdated version of RealPlayer but the Netscape exe will still not run!!

The only difference to my system is I am trying out the latest 
cachemanXP ver. 1.1 from Outer Technologies, a cache and memory optimizer!

I had cacheman 5.1 running on my last XP setups and it is running on the 
other PC I have here which runs Mozilla fine on XP Home!

Go Figure!!
