Jordan,
Thanks for the reply. Mozilla 1.7.8 is up and running pretty well. My
wife reported that one page she was looking at was goofed up, but when
we retried, it was fine. I have seen something similar once, and once I
had to close Mozilla and start it again - it seemed to freeze on me
while loading a page. These minor incidents, if they continue, will
probably keep me installing newer versions for awhile.

One place I couldn't see successfully before I upgraded was BMWUSA.com.
It really and truly needed Flash 7, and now it shows just fine.

Flash is the only Plugin I have installed right now. Does anyone have
an opinion about which others should I put in?

I have the two C++ DLL's in the Mozilla directory, and nowhere else.
Colin
