I'm running Netscape 4.51 and it won't run NC.O at all.

I use the version of IE that came on WIN95 and it runs OK, not the best. I need to get a newer version of one of them I guess.

I just got done installing Netscape 4.79, and I guess it fixes a lot of problems associated with Windows 2000, as well as adds additional featers that in the past have been papriatary towards IE. So far it looks a lot better. I'm posting this reply useing Netscape.

A lot of people who write webpages (expecially CGI based webpages), such as the person who probably wrote the software your useing here, don't take into account that a lot of the nifty tricks that MS likes to put in there programs aren't standard things that work in all the other programs. Of cousrse being as brainwashed as most poeple are, and being as totalitarian as microsft is, these extra little tricks are eventually accepted as standard and eventually make there way into the other programs such as with the latest release of Netscape which everyone should go download if they are going to use Netscape. Not only is it more compatable with this board (as well as many other websights, I'm sure) it also fixes a number of security holes.

You can get it here:

Netscape 4.79 for Windows (http://home.netscape.com/download/sd_cb32d479en.html)

There's also a verision 6.2, but it's all java based, and I personally don't particularly like it much. It also doesn't work well with slower computers, and older Operating Systems.
