If you really want a reply, re-post this in the Firefox, SeaMonkey and Netscape thread.

Okay, now that we are on the correct forum let's begin:

:arrow:

As you may or may not know, AOL (Netscape's developing company) as dropped all support for Netscape, so it will not be update, and it will slowly, slowly become absolutely useless and unsecured.

:arrow:

It is not recommended that you stay with Netscape, simply for the above reasons. What you should do, is either upgrade to Mozilla Firefox :ff:

(web browser) and Mozilla Thunderbird :tb:

(email client), or if you enjoy a suite like Netscape, download Mozilla's SeaMonkey :sm:

(All-in-one internet application suite, like NS 7.0).

It turns out that the easiest solution is to make a new profile by starting thunderbird with the -ProfileManager option (this is described in an article in the mozilla stuff and can be found by google 'mozilla profiles'. The profiles are similar although Thunderbird keeps its profiles separately. (In windows it is /windows/application data/thunderbird/ Once the new profile is found to be working, either continue to use it, or copy the whole thing to the original default profile. (really uneccessary)

The problem occurred when the existing profile became corrupted, and JS3250.dll couldnt handle it. I did it by setting up an extension 'quicknotes' and got into trouble.

Backing up the profile elsewhere is a good idea as it is simple to restore a working profile. hope this helps.

I got this from a five year-old post. Above is the solution to the problem. You can replace Thunderbird with any related program. The problem, originally, was with a Mozilla program.
My feeling is that a newer program would not help, if the original one had a corrupted profile.

What if he deleted the profile, uninstalled NS and then started clean?

John is right. If this person is using such old equipment, then a completely new beginning is in order.

SM is the best bet for someone coming from N7.

Responders - your answers are all accurate, but isn't there a bit of overkill here? I suggest that we first try to help him change the flat tire, before selling (I know, there's no charge for the current Mozilla products, but this is a metaphor, OK?) him a new car and garage. Here is a new member who needs basic help, not a sales pitch.

The simplest thing to do first is to determine if the problem really IS in the profile. If it is, then perhaps we can salvage some of the definitions that you already have. If the problem is elsewhere, we can do something else.

Do not initiate Netscape by using the shortcut on the Desktop; instead, start with "Start", then get to the "Netscape 7.0" item in the list, then click on "Profile Manager". What you probably have for your existing profile name is 'default'. Leave this alone for now. Instead, do a Create Profile: give it a name of Test. Then start Netscape. Does it come up OK, or do you still have the DLL error? Please post back, and we'll go from there.

Do you know how to find your profile(s)? If the Test profile works then you'll need to be able to do some file manipulations using Windows Explorer. Are you comfortable with that?

The instructions for finding the files are here. (Just click on the blue word 'here'.) Note that these instructions apply to Netscape as well as to the named products.

After following PaulD's advice, I have solved the problem. It was the default homepage, netscape.aol.com that caused the problem. So i changed it, and now it works. Thanks.

Hey Dude, you would still be better off to move up to a more updated product. N7.2 is a dead issue, not updated for security in a very long time.

My advice is to stick to what he/she has, because there seems to be some discomfort or problem (may be dial up) to come to the present. In spite of the Netscape7.2 username, I see Netscape7.0 mentioned, so we may have some really old stuff.
And, my further advice is to be watchful for any inability to get to some pages. I don't know about Netscape7.0, but some website do not like Netscape of any kind. The program is, probably, fine for Mail, but questionable for browsing.

Some sites are coded to work only with IE. But in general you will be better off with Firefox. Please give it a try.

Sites that are IE-only are becoming archaic, or may be trying to take advantage of IE vulnerabilities.

Seamonkey would be more familiar, as it combines browser, mail, and more, like the NS7.x series, and, it up to date to boot.
Firefox is a standalone browser only program, and, should be used in conjunction with the standalone Thunderbird.

Fulvio's advice is good advice.
