 PK> Hi Bat,

 BL> When activated, it 'appears' to try to 'fire' but
 BL> then stops promptly,
 BL> with no feedback at all. If done from the command
 BL> line all you see is:

 SD> Okay, well, I guess I'll start with the obvious: do you have the
 SD> lastest DLLs?  Uhh, let's see ... what fixpack are
 SD> you at?  I'm trying
 SD> to think of what else could be it ... oh, the latest Innotek runtime?

 BL> TTBOMK, yes (dll's), eCS 1.2, Yes (Inno).

 PK> I have never tried the 1.7 release but I am using Mozilla 1.8 under W4
 PK> FP15 here and Firefox 1.x also ran fine for me (but I prefer Moz 1.8),
 PK> so this may not apply to you. A couple of things I did discover is
 PK> that different versions of Mozilla need different version of
 PK> LIBCnn.DLL. If the right one is NOT present then you end up with the
 PK> exact result that you see, in that Mozzilla starts and ends within
 PK> seocnds with no other indication of what might be wrong.
 PK> I also found that IPLUGINW.DLL caused this exact start/stop issue as
 PK> well, I had to remove it to get Mozilla 1.8 to start. Once Mozilla was
 PK> started and I had set it up, then I put IPLUGINW back and all was ok
 PK> after that.
 PK> I also install each version of Mozilla as its own new install, I NEVER
 PK> migrate from earlier versions.

Thanks for the comeback, Peter. That last point (the new install) was
one of the recommendations I got from one of our Zn 2 guru's, and he
specified Moz 1.75. So I tried that and that's where I am now. {^;
I suppose that if I did the same with 1.8x it would be OK too. I have no
idea of what that would gain me in features/performance?? But 1.75 seems
solid, and that counts for much, in my book.  {^;
Good Modeming!  /\oo/\
