STRANGE Netscape behavior.

I decided to do a clean install on my workstation at work. All went well, including the Lexmark Z52 driver, except for Netscape! It comes up INSISTING that there's a lock file in the .netscape dir., and there ISN'T. Of course, this renders Netscape useless. Anyone know how to fix this....version 4.76, in case it makes any difference. Thanks! Fred -- If you listen quietly you can hear the sound of my pager....another Windows2000 server has crashed.
