Well -- version 1.5 works fine.
Except for npwv.dll -- that gives me a black screen when I click on
certain url links.

But if I try to install 1.6a or 1.6b, the orange box with Mozilla come on
the screen briefly and then disappears. Nothing is then running.

I'd like to get npwv.dll to work, but I am afraid to try installing 1.6
over 1.5.
