Netscape question

If I install a newer version of Netscape over the one I have, will it
wipe out my bookmarks?

Have you asked this question in a Netscape forum, that would be something
they would know as it is not a WinME problem.

I couldn't find a Netscape forum - can you tell me where?

Check your Usenet news server such as the one you are using to access this
newsgroup. You should find many netscape newsgroups including
netscape.public.general and netscape.public.mozilla.browser. I can see
over 110 netscape groups.

In article , Tegger=AE says...

I would strongly recommend Mozilla rather than Netscape, though. Mozilla =
is=20
a derivative of Netscape, written by the same people and containing much =
of=20
the same code. What version of Netscape are you trying to install?

Actually, Netscape is a derivative of Mozilla.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040804=20
Netscape/7.2 (ax)

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040910

This should work:

news.mozilla.org

Just set up a new account for this server.

Also, unless you are using Netscape to access AOL, CompuServe 2000, or
Netscape Webmail servers, you would probably be better off with the latest
build of Mozilla, instead. You can remove Netscape, install Mozilla, and
then import your Netscape settings into Mozilla. If Mozilla wants to use the
Netscape user profile, I would not let it. Set up a new user profile and
import the Netscape settings.

No. An overinstall only changes the program files, not the configuration
files. Your bookmarks, cookies, history, and passwords are not stored in the
same folders as the application files. For Windows Me (and other 9x OSes)
the location of the configurations, or Profile, is C:\Windows\Application
Data\Mozilla\Profiles\Profile_Name\random.slt. I don't know the exact
location on Windows 2K/XP, but it would be that OS analogue of the location
which I gave.
