Factual Questions

I don’t know why! He thinks reinitializing my hard drive helps. It doesn’t.
Here’s the story. I’m old and set in my ways. If something works I try hard not to fix it. I drive a Mac G3 Blue & White. I use Netscape 4.79 (yes, that old!) as a browser & Comcast high speed cable access. It works for me, and I know I’ll have to upgrade soon.Well, when Hubby got a wild hair the other day, he chose to involve me & my innocent Mac.
First, he had a big brain fart, and loaded 8.5 over OS 9.2.2. If anyone asks, that’s a bad idea. It took me all day and half the night, but I got it mostly fixed.
My only problem (ok, not my only problem) is my comcast mail. We set up the internet control panel on my machine. I didn’t change any preferences on Netscape. Now my comcast mail isn’t recognized. I’m sure I named something wrong or something simple like that. I know when Comcast took over from AT&T we had to change some things, but I don’t remember what.
Can someone help me, Pleeeese???
I could live without e-mail, but I don’t want to!

I know setting up Netscape on the Mac isn’t the same as on the PC, but the email settings should be:

Picunurse -

I hope you find your answer (I’m running 10.3, so I can’t really help) - but did you know apple has a large discussion board for questions like this? Check it out here.

Good luck!

Thanks, Yes, I spent a good part of yesterday there. Part of my problem was Hubby didn’t tell me he had loaded 8.5 over 9.2.2, so I was on his computer trying to find out why mine kept blowing up in my face. He finally mentioned it at 4:30pm. I spent the next couple hours untangling that mess. The Apple site didn’t have specifics, and Comcast won’t allow me access until I upgrade my browser.
I think he does these things on purpose. He has Jaguar, too, so it doesn’t break. He wanted something to fix, and fix it he did!
I’ll try Fear Itself’s fix. then move on to the problem of being stuck in OS 9.0 (My OS 9.1 disc blew up too)
