LOL thanks for all the advice which I didn't ask for *smirk*
I actually use Firefox and Thunderbird on all my personal PCs however I really need to find a copy of Netscape 7.1 (for my dad) not 7.2. It just appears that 7.2 is causing a problem on his PC, whereas 7.1 was always fine and I want to see if I can get him back to that. In the meantime I'll see what I can do about pushing him into Firefox ....
on edit: That smartdownloads link only leads to 7.2. Is there really no way to download 7.1 any more? i can't find it anywhere on the net, not even on netscape's downloads area.
