whenever I try to open Netscape, I get an unexpected quit, an update is required for compatibility with the improved MacOS file system message. I cannot download netscape with Explorer. It quits, and Netscape help is no help!

You are using an old version of Netscape, and need a newer version.

Why can't you download Netscape with IE? And I'd recommend using IE 5 instead of Netscape, regardless.

Anyway, moving this topic to the third-party software forum.

Could it be the old Talkback problem? Make sure the Talkback folder is gone from your Netscape folder. (it's not compatible with OS 9)

Try an ftp client to download it? connect to ftp.netscape.com....
and see if deleting the netscape registery does much (in the prefrences folder)

Wow, I never removed the talkback folder, but Netscape works ok for me. Should I remove it? Does it have a purpose? I have7.2 and it seems compatible with OS 9.0.4 What's the deal?
