KS> TA> ??????????? KS> It's broke. KS> If it won't do anything, that is. Get a new copy. You and my youngest son Karl think with similar great minds. So I uninstalled it and "smart downloaded" 4.76 that I am familar with on my IBM Aptiva and M5ADT/386/300, but it chokes as follows: =========================================================================== BBS: Doc's Place Bbs Online.

Starting with the v4.04 Netscape that came bundled with the box would only bootup a blank full page "Account Profile" and die there. Uninstalled it without incident. So after several "resumes" useing the "Smart Download" I finally downloaded a complete "cc_32d476.exe" copy of the more familar version 4.76 Communicator from Netscape.COM When I ran it to install the Communicator an Error 2 Dialog box reported "Decompression of % failed. There may not be enough free disk space available in the TEMP directory" Tried again after deleting all the junk in the \TEMP folder but now the installation haults about half way through the "InstallShield Self-extracting. EXE" function complaining, "Could not create destination file C:\WINDOWS\~IS_CMPX""""" Help please (save me from the horrors of M/S IE 5.0 8-( Ciao, Ack. --- þ SLMR 2.1a þ Modem crosstalk noise = phantasmagorical communication ?
