Besttechie Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Hi,Well, first off I don't really recommend Netscape anymore. I would recommend you get either Mozilla or Firefox (which is made by the Mozilla people). If you want to keep Netscape try these two things, and see if they fix the problem. First reboot the machine, and then try. If that doesn't work then try uninstalling Netscape and then reinstalling Netscape. Here are links to Mozilla and Firefox if you are interested.MozillaFirefoxHope that helpsB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sultan_emerr Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 I second what Besttechie suggested. Firefox should give you better results than Netscape. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Besttechie Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 Hi,What do you mean it doesn't have a home page? Like you don't know how to set it to lets say Google.com or something like that? What does the home page you have now say? I think you just need to set it to the home page you want. Also, as of Netscape I highly recommend that you don't use it. The reason is because Netscape is no longing being deveopled I believe. So, go with either Firefox or Mozilla as an alternative browser. So, if you could just answer those questions I asked. We will be able to go from there.B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
