However I have run into a probelm recently where I now cannot run any versions of Firefox - they simply crash after starting up. I wonder if it is a problem with the profiles? or a clash with a dll? anyone else have this problem?

I re-installed the gcc & libc dlls thinking it was a conflict but to no avail?? I am wondering if it is a profiles conflict I wonder of Arora uses the firefox profile directory?

Generally I find the qt4 apps available really good quality and spread of choice. regards David -------------------------------------------------- http://www./melbpc/ - The Melbourne OS/2 SIG ===
