If blowing the user account fixes it, it's likely that just offing the ~/.netscape directory would do it as well. \_ I have this same problem on 6.3 with my acct., but my wife's works just fine \_ so what I ended up doing was deleting my user account and creating a new \_ one. I've also noticed that the SuSe support db has nothing very useful on \_ it either. I'm about to use the newsgroups to see if I can get a reason; \_ maybe you could do the same/beat me to it? If you do let the group know what \_ you found out. David
