My apologies if I'm violating netiquette by reposting this inquiry, but I have
seen no replies over the four days since the original posting. I searched
various archives using "Netscape plugin" and a couple of other variants as the
search term, but did not find anything that helped.
Anyone have any ideas how to correct this?
Thanks again.

Hi, everyone.
Strange problem today. I'm sure there's a simple solution but it escapes me.
All of a sudden I cannot view any of my .png files -- for example icons -- in my home directory. When I click on the files I get an error message that says:
"Unable to load Netscape plugin for file:/home/gil/icons/<name of file.png>"
And then up pops the error screen for the KDE Crash Handler and it says:
"The application unknown (nspluginviewer) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV)."
At the moment the only way to view a .png file that is in my home directory is to open it using Kwickshow.
Note that if I copy the .png file to my desktop it will open properly from the desktop.
Please also note that .jpg, .gif, and .bmp files do open properly in the home directory.
Any suggestions on how to fix this little problem? Thanks. :o) Gil
