I use Win98SE and IE 5.5. On occasion I have used older versions of Netscape also (had both installed). I ordered 7.0 cd and installed it and it worked ok. Then I uninstalled it from the Control Panel and did a "Find" and deleted any related files that I could find. I recently tried to reinstall it but I cannot open the program when I double click on the desktop icon. The Profile Manager window opens, my profile name is highlighted, I click exit. The "Welcome" screen pops up and blinks as does all the desktop icons....then it closes and nothing else opens. I have tried uninstalling it and installing 4.79 but the same thing happens. I have been getting Microsoft visual C++ Runtime errors and errors saying "Windows cannot Find Program.exe" needed for opening files Hypertext Transfer Protocol." I also get error message about I/O overlaying in progress. Also, some web pages I try to open, message says "Error on the page".

Can someone please help me? Friends tell me to give up and just use IE but I would like to fix it before it drives me completely crazy! Thanks for any help. I am a PC Dummie

I am not sure that this will help, because you long description left me with a lot a question. So, I will try to guess. It seems to me that you had one of those Netscape versions as default, and when you uninstalled, it carried the default to the grave. Thus the message, I think. I don't know of anything called Program.exe, so I am puzzled there. You also mention using your profile, profile of which program? Are you attempting to use the profile which you used with the previous installation, or is it a new created profile? In theory, if you remove a program like 7.0, the profile will remain behind. It can be removed via the Manager.
At this point since you mention uninstalling 4.79, etc. I am as confused as you are. If you did not do anything to 4.79, you should be able to use it, but with all the uninstalling and deleting files, I am not taking bets.
I hope that I did not confuse anyone else to the point that they can't help you. And, I am withdrawing.
