It will take more than good luck, I fear. After uninstalling my Mozilla
installation, and unloading the IWB, I went to Innotek and reinstalled
the GCC runtime 5.01, then installed the .EXE version of Mozilla 1.8.4,
but when I tried to execute it...Nada! No response at all, incl no error
msg. So I reactivated IWB and have resigned myself to work with it for
the present. It treats me right, and it WORKS!
Thanks to everyone for their ideas.
I guess Mozilla is just too sticky for me, which is strange, because I
had an earlier vers (1.7) working for a while a month or so ago, but
overwrote it with 1.8.4, but it's not as if I didn't have a browser at
all! That IWB that came with eCS has been good to me.
Good Modeming!  /\oo/\
