Our group has developed a stand alone webpage that goes on a cd-rom deliverable. Because of the users, the webpage MUST be compatable with Netscape 4.79; they also use Messenger 4.79 as their mail server.

Problem is when we make the cd auto-run launch the webpage, Netscape 4.79 Messenger opens along with the webpage in Navigator. The following 2 error messages also pop up:

1. D:\HTML\index.html The specified file was not found

2. Cannot find the file 'D:\HTML\index.html' (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available.

Sometimes the webpage works fine despite the error messages, and sometimes Netscape crashes. We've tried it with Netscape open and closed at start up. These errors only occur for the users whose default email is Netscape Messenger (our primary user base). The errors don't occur in Netscape 6+ or IE (of course).

Is there a way to prevent these errors from occuring? To keep Messenger from opening when trying to access the webpage?

Any help is greatly appreciated! Our programmers have thrown in the towel.

Thanks,
Jill

Hi Jill,

4.79 should load htlm pages from a CD without any problem.

I would really need to know what is in the page you are loading, including any
images etc. to provide good advice here.

To autostart, use the web page itself, as netscape will be automatically loaded
when energized.

Cliff
