Transferring preferences from 4.75 to a new install

Postby spark » Wed 31 Mar, 2004 10:50 am

Did a system upgrade to 9.22 and the previous system folder has the prefs for Netscape 4.75, but when I drag them into the new system prefs, Netscape doesn't see the user prefs and asks to create a new user like it does when you first install the program.

Any wizards available for first aid?

Thanks,

Spark!

I do not have a Mac, but I think that you should start from scratch. It is safer that way, as the configuration of your OS may be different. But, I don't know enough to comment any further.
