We design web sites for our small business clients. When finished, we test them on a Win98 machine with both the latest versions of Explorer as well as Netscape, to make sure they look good in both.!! We use Win NT4.0 Server, and Frontpage 2000 for all basic templates.

Recently, we had a severe virus attack that took down 13 machines. We have since rebuilt most, and now we are finishing up with the Win98 test machine.

When we had the attack, we were testing with IE5.0 and Netscape 4.7, every thing was fine. NOW However, we are using IE 5.5 sp2, and Netscape 6.2 with IE5.5 working fine, and Netscape 6.2 a BIG problem.

Our main problem now is that a new client brought in MIDI background music for his sight which work O.K. in Explorer, but does not work in Netscape..???

Anyone have an idea as to what we must do in our HTML programming to get Netscape to recognize MIDI..?? Or, are we just missing something in trying to get this new Netscape 6.2 set-up correctly.??

Regards
George

doesn't seem like it is any thing big ....if you have a instal CD of a midi player just instal it again after installing netscape and see if it helps. even explorer needs plugins to play certain clips ..

I hope it helps

Good luck !!!

If you are using the BGSOUND tag, Netscape can't understand it. Both IE 5.5 and Netscape will understand the EMBED tag but Netscape will pop up an audio control console unless you specify a height and width of "0".

An example might be

I don't know if it works the same in 6.2 as in earlier versions but it should be backward compliant.

Good Luck.

Almost Forgot:

If the problem has only been happening since the virus, you may have to crowbar Netscape from the machine and then reinstall.

Delete the /program files/Netscape directory after uninstalling from add/remove programs. Then go to the registry editor. Go to Edit> Find> Type in Mozilla. Delete ALL keys, values, and data containing Mozilla. Then you can get a clean reinstall of Netscape.
