My Netscape browser will not work. I have it on Desktop, and when my WalMart Connect ISP connects, I click on Netscape to do my surfing.
Now, I click on Netscape, my hourglass comes on for about 5 seconds, and then hourglass disappears. I haven't downloaded any new programs that I can remember. This started about a week ago.
Can anybody advise me? I have Windows XP on a computer a few months old.
thanks,
hh

Have you tried reinstalling the browser? You can download it again here (http://browser.netscape.com/ns8/).

Just did that, and it downloaded but wouldn't install. It can't read who my server is, whatever that means. A window came up saying that there was a server reading error, or something similar. It asks for my 'host' name, etc....

Can you give us the exact error messages?

Or, you can also try the official Netscape Browser Technical Issues forum (http://community.netscape.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?nav=messages&folderId=3&webtag=ws-nscpbrowser&listMode=13).
