1011 -
101101 - Follow up ref SDS 21 0000, ref SDS 19 0000.
101102 -
101103 - Today, we are having another problem with Netscape for an unknown
101104 - reason.  Cannot read email.  Getting a screen to configure
101105 - preferences, whereas it should be reading preferences from the
101106 - profile for 00101 in directory....

101111 - However, that is failing.
101112 -
101113 - Millie's preferences are still good.  This suggests the w2k registry
101114 - has lost track of preferences for 00101 for some reason.
101115 -
101116 - In the past a way to clear this problem is to remove Netscape and
101117 - install it again using the code for version 4.7 in...

101123 - Will try this now to see if we can recover.
101124 -
101125 - Used W2K control panel to add/remove programs.
101126 -
101127 - Booted the computer to update the registry.  This may not be
101128 - necessary, but it probably doesn't hurt.

1015 -
101501 - Netscape is removed
101502 -
101503 - Will try to install 4.7 again.
101504 -
101505 - All preferences offered by Netscape are disconnected, so it is not a
101506 - default anything, and the user selects when Netscape is run.

101903 - This did not solve email access problem.

101918 - After we hopefully get 4.7 running correctly again, will consider
101919 - evaluating 7.0 again.  We did not have a good experience with Netscape

101929 - This seemed to work out pretty well.  Better than I remember from a
101930 - few years ago.

101935 - There is a problem with setting up support programs on the I:
101936 - drive, and the user ID was also put on I, but finally figured out how
101937 - specify the User ID stuff to be on the same drive as the program,
101938 - rather than on I:
