Hi Joe,

I have started a new thread for you, as the one you selected is 2 years old. The information has changed considerably since 2004.

The browser you're using is incredibly obsolete now, and the "lost profile" is one of its fallibilities. You should really think about upgrading to either Firefox 1.5.0.1, and Thunderbird, or to SeaMonkey 1.0. These applications have fixes for the numerous security vulnerabilities and bugs which are present in the Netscape 7 series.

A lost profile is due to your PC shutting down before Netscape has the opportunity to write to the prefs.js file, which it does on closing the browser. This could be due to Windows crashing, electrical failure, etc. It could also mean that your prefs.js file is corrupt for any number of reasons. As noted, backing up the Profiles folder is the best solution.

To answer your question: yes, there is usually a way to recover your original Profile. Take a look at this page and see if it helps: Lost Profile, Mail Settings.

If you need further help, let us know.
