My Netscape 4.79 fail to open no matter I press the shortcut on the desktop, click from the start bar or double click the exe file in the file manager view. I have uninstalled and re-installed but nothing changes. I have important email to view and to address. Please kindly help.

Thanks. I am not on aol boradband, and haven't install zone alarm. I have to use Netscape 4.7x to connect to some legacy sytem of my company. Therefore, I cannot upgrade to version 7.02.

Have you tried Netscape 4.8?
This is the latest release of Netscape 4.X

I recommend against upgrading directly to Netscape 7.X, as you cannot import 4.X e-mails into 6.X or 7.X

If you cannot get even 4.8 to function, I suggest that you switchto Mozilla. www.mozilla.org

Mozilla will give you many of the features that you like in Netscape without Netscapes bloat and adds.

Thanks. As I have to use 4.7x to connect to some legacy system, I cannot use mozilla.

If you are using Windows 2000, try renaming your W2K profile, rebooting, and logging back in. Windows will think you're a new user, but if it works, you can transfer your user files from the renamed folder. I know it sounds odd, but it has worked for me in the past.
